Mono added to Fedora Core
Any respectable distribution intended for developers should include support for tools to get most software (e.g. version control systems currently in use) and to compile it, which includes compilers and libraries. Although I don't plan coding anything C# and I don't use any software written in C#, it's comforting to know that I'll get the needed tools simply by running yum, should that need arise.
Another great thing in Fedora Core 5 is that it allows uninstalling the kernel and using your own. And if a distributed kernel is installed but it's not running, yum won't keep in on upgrade.
Finally, gcc 4.1.0 prerelease reports unused (usually misplaced) "packed" attribute in structures. It's always better to fix it in advance before users start reporting it. Not to mention that it can be a real problem.
