Hey, don't know why people talk about it from afar. I have been involved in Fedora for two months now. Come meet us in #fedora and #fedora-devel at irc.freenode.net, or join fedora-devel list to see how great people discuss about this community project. Alan Cox, Havoc Pennington, Owen Taylor, Eric Raymond, and many many other great hackers... And the answers: Yes, it's what you can call Red Hat 10. And the release was scheduled for Nov 3, but got delayed for a couple of days. No fuss, just because development was open, so you could see what's in, and what's not. No magic. Core, means this is the Core of Fedora as you guessed. Fedora Core is the main part of system, that Red Hat is contributing to. Fedora Extras would exist. Currently packages for Fedora Extra can be found at http://fedora.us/. And new packages get in every day. Your final word, absolutely not! It's just the beginning. You should expects miracles for Fedora Core 2. An experience never done before in the Open Source software world. Come see yourself on fedora-devel list.
