+ <header>Software Installation and Management</header>
+ <para>
+ Anaconda, the Fedora Core installer, has been completely rewritten to
+ present a more streamlined interface that matches the new look and feel of
+ Fedora Core 5.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Fedora Core 5 also brings major advancements in software management with the
+ introduction of Pirut, a graphical interface to replace
+ system-config-packages. Pirut helps manage the large number of software
+ packages available in Fedora Core and Extras repositories. The software
+ package updater, Pup, helps users keep pace with Fedora's rapid
+ improvements.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ For the first time, all of Fedora Core's tools for software installation and
+ management share the same strong foundation: the package management utility
+ Yum. This tight integration will lead to dramatic improvements in software
+ management in future Fedora releases.
+ </para>
+
+ <header>Xen Virtualization</header>
+ <para>
+ Xen, the leading open source virtualization project, is included in Fedora
+ Core 5. Our version of Xen is based on the latest Xen 3.0 development
+ branch, with support for both 32-bit and 64-bit x86 hardware. Also included
+ is the Xen guest install script from Fedora developers, which allows users
+ to set up virtual machines.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Xen's advances in Fedora Core 5 represent a critical next step in the future
+ of virtualization on Linux. Fedora has expanded our virtualization team
+ with Chris Wright, one of the maintainers of the stable branch of 2.6 kernel
+ releases, and Juan Quintela, as virtualization wizards. They are part of a
+ large Red Hat team, headed by Brian Stein, responsible for making
+ virtualization ubiquitous and seamless in Fedora.

+ <header>Security</header>
+ <para>
+ You can always expect interesting and exciting advancements in security from
+ Fedora Core, and this release does not disappoint. Security Enhanced Linux
+ (SELinux) is now using the reference policy, which makes it easier to create
+ and maintain modular security policies. The introduction of a stack
+ protector to GCC 4.1 makes it harder than ever for hackers to exploit buffer
+ overflows, one of the most common security vulnerabilities.
+ </para>

+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Fedora has switched to using the reference policy for the SELinux security
+ framework. This supports binary modules, allowing SELinux policies to move
+ into individual packages. Developers can use this to ship site-specific
+ policy customizations. Fedora Core also supports the Multi Category
+ Security (MCS) SELinux policy by default, in addition to Type Enforcement
+ (TE), Muti Level Security (MLS), and Role Base Access Control (RBAC)
+ security policies. These gains in security continue to make Fedora Core one
+ of the most secure general-use operating systems in the world. Find more

+ Linux Unified Key Support (LUKS) provides hard disk encryption support in
+ Fedora Core 5; David Zeuthen of Red Hat, the HAL developer and maintainer,
+ worked on the LUKS integration with HAL and GNOME, finishing just in time
+ for the new Fedora Core release. Hard disk encryption provides one of the
+ best physical security solutions -- protection of your data if your hard
+ disk falls into the wrong hands.

+ <header>Internationalization and Localization</header>
+ <para>
+ Fedora contributors speak many different languages besides C, C++, Python,
+ Java, and so on. We are also humans who speak the world's many different
+ languages, and we all want Fedora to support as many as possible.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ In Fedora Core 5, we have come closer to that goal by adopting SCIM, in
+ place of IIIMF, as the input method of choice for internationalization. This
+ and other advances allow Fedora to communicate with its many users better
+ than ever before.

+ <header>Java</header>
+ <para>
+ This release of Fedora Core represents another big step down the free Java
+ path.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Through the introduction of the completely free software stack
+ java-gcj-compat that runs native and bytecode Java, Fedora can now compile
+ and run software written in Java without relying upon proprietary and closed
+ Java machine implementations.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The excellent Fedora Java development team of Red Hat and community hackers
+ have built many popular Java-based or Java-using packages utilizing
+ java-gcj-compat for this release. These packages, which include
+ OpenOffice.org, Eclipse, Apache Tomcat, and Jakarta, are now compiled and
+ run on a 100% free and open software stack.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ We included a complete set of packages and development goodies in Fedora
+ Core 5 for Java technologies. Fedora Extras also has many Java
+ applications: the popular BitTorrent utility Azureus, RSSowl, and others,
+ all powered by gcj-java-compat.
