[ale] FC6

[KingBahamut]

Redhat and Slackware were the two I started playing around with , so thats
why I guess I hold a "legacy" interest in how Redhat and Fedora go about
their business. After the shake up this week at Novell, I thought Id poke my
nose around the other two camps. Slackware has relatively been unchanged
from what I can see (package updates aside, though Patrick is still THE
man). I was wondering what FC's roadmap was for the 6 release.  Or just an
opinion on it at least.

As to Fultons statment, Well, Ale'ers and Ubuntuforums people wouldnt be
comin over to my house tomorrow to talk about Ubuntu, if I didnt support
that project heavily.

hehe.
