Fedora Core 2 final [1] was released on 18th EST[2]. However before upgrading to it watch out for two major problems with it:

1. Resizing of partition table using FC2 on dual-boots with Windows XP may render your Windows installation unbootable. [3] Probably happens because FC2(or rather parted) changes partition table to use CHS instead of LBA.

2. NVidia drivers wont work with the kernel shipped with FC2. To get your nvidia drivers working, you got to get a new kernel, recompile it after disabling a couple of config options in it.[4]

The rest, enjoy! :)
