[Unofficial] Fedora Core 5 Release

Fedora Core 5 is supposed to be out today. But the DVD and CD iso's are circulating out in several forums for a couple of days. So i decided to give you guys the address.

Screencasts
Screenshots

Upto this time, the official release has not been announced. [And yes, this is the original version]

I recommend to download via BitTorrent. So we can keep the server loads low. And you'll get much faster speeds there compared to direct links. And in a direct download, ftp is recommended over http

Torrents
