One bug, two bugs, tar bugs, su bugs,
  grep bugs, mew bugs, old bugs, new bugs.

This bug has a little hack,
This bug has a broken stack.
  Say! What a lot of bugs to track.

Yes, some are in tar, and some in su.
  Some are old. And some are new.

Some in sed, and some in jed.
  And some are even in parted.
Why are they in parted, jed and sed?
  I do not know. Bugs should be dead!

Some in jpeg, and some in TIFF
  This TIFF one has an attached diff.

>From there to here, from here to there
  Test release bugs are everywhere.

Fedora Core test 2 is available for
 x86 and x86-64
It should not be installed where production is hot;
 use it only for test, as we say quite a lot.

As I've said before, this is one of the reasons I love open source and free software organizations and companies. You'll never see a big proprietary house put out release announcements in Dr Suesse rhyme format. :)

Fedora Core 2 Test 2 available
It might even be apt-gettable
However, this release will long be unforgettable
This story on Monday morning is unregrettable

Shhhesh :)

What a great release post!

Wishing you well.

I guess Bill has kids too!

I sit my 4 year old son on lap on the bed every night and read him at least one book; he usually chooses two or three.

Last night he brought a book called Bugs!, and The Lorax.

He still sometimes reads the books here:

  • One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, up to "Test release bugs are everywhere."
  • Green Eggs and Ham, from "So please test test2 in this mode;" to "Say! We will test it ANYWHERE!"
Is the part in the middle from either of these books, or is it from another one?

Does Bill have children?  Being a dad is a wonderful excuse to enjoy lovely books like these!  Dad's must have fun!  It's our duty!

OOPS! Seems like that "more recognition" thing isn't working for XFree86 people. Interesting...

I'd love to download the DVD iso image using Bittorrent in order to reduce the load on any one server, and help the community with my bittorent uploads. Unfortunately I'm getting the message "Tracker Status: offline (timeout)" using Azureus right now.

Is it not possible that the tracker be hosted on a server with higher availability? It seems odd to me that Redhat haven't yet embraced Bittorrent enough to host the tracker on a server in the redhat.com domain.

If anyone knows of a torrent file pointing to a working/available tracker then please let me know!

Hi,
a couple of things:

1. I run the torrent tracker in the announcement and yours is the first complaint I've heard. 2.96TB of the i386 binary isos were downloaded since 10am monday - so I'd say it's working fairly well.

2. Since fedora core is not solely contributed to by red hat it makes sense that someone not at red hat would be running the tracker (among other things)

IIRC, BitTorrent didn't work for me with Fedora Core 1 in January.

I occasionally use BitTorrent for other things, so I don't think it was a problem with my configuration.

At the time, I assumed it was because it was a while after the release, and that it had taken offline.

Thanks,
Barry
