The Fedora Project announces the second release of the Fedora Core 5 development cycle, available for the i386, x86_64, and PPC/PPC64 architectures. Beware that Test releases are recommended only for Linux experts/enthusiasts or for technology evaluation, as many parts are likely to be broken and the rate of change is rapid.

Fedora Core is a completely free, user friendly, and secure general purpose platform based on Linux that is always free for anyone to use modify, and distribute, now and forever. The Fedora Project is an open source project that pioneers leading edge technology and concepts, which is sponsored by Red Hat and supported by the Fedora community.

Test3 is scheduled for release February 13. This aggressive schedule makes vitally important your help in testing, reporting and suggesting fixes for bugs.

I think that marks the end of support for Fedora Core 3. That would be added to Fedora Legacy.
