"Stentz" is the name of FC4 according to above article.

Hi,

Zu den Neuerungen von Fedora Core 4 zählen die Integration von Xen, GCC 4.0, Gnome 2.10, KDE 3.4 sowie Kernel 2.6.12-rc5 und eine Beta von OpenOffice 2.0. Ursprünglich sollten zur Fertigstellung der Distribution sowohl vom Kernel als auch von OpenOffice endgültige Versionen vorliegen. Die Projekte konnte ihre Zeitplanungen jedoch auch nicht einhalten, daher will das Fedora-Projekt die Release-Versionen von OpenOffice 2.0 und Kernel 2.6.12 als Updates nachliefern.

Additionally, the above article mentions, that the final versions of the 2.6.12 kernel and OpenOffice 2.0 will be supplied as updates after the release of FC4. Apparently some timetables couldn't be met.

I think you should do it

Lt_Anton · #12 7th June 2005, 09:37 PM

Okay so I shouldn't have to do anything special, besides downloading it and all that, should I. From what I understand it should update my current installation if I don't feel like wiping everything off. Any recommendations before FC4 is actually released?

I updated with all the test builds and was happy to do it. Nautilus improved some and the load time is faster. Udev is working great and I was able to get my palm pilot to synch very easily with FC4. As soon as the final comes out I will install it. I have been very happy working on test 3.
