I just started downloading the Fedora Core 4 Torrent. Looks like it's going to take a while:

At this speed, I won't be able to install it before I go on vacation this Friday. But I'll post my impressions of Fedora Core 4 when I come back early next month.

Fedora Core 4 is released today.

[Update: Here's the release notes:

* GNOME 2.10 

  With the elegant Clearlooks theme, descendent of our old friend
  Bluecurve.  Keep your eyes open for Evince, the new PDF viewer.

* OpenOffice.org 2.0 prerelease.  

  This popular office productivity suite handles all your favorite
  formats even better than before, and comes with a new database
  management capability.

* Eclipse and a 100% open source Java stack.  Gcj, need we say more?

* Fedora Extras 

  Extras packages are available, by default, at release time.  Extras
  is now integrated into the development, testing, and release cycles.

* KDE 3.4

  Complete desktop packed with a web browser, mail client, and so much more.

* PPC (PowerPC) 

  PPC architecture support.  Oh, yes, folks, Fedora Core on your PPC.
  It is downright amazing!
