Beware Fedora Core 2 Linux if you dual boot Windows XP. The final release of Fedora Core 2 (FC2) Linux (the community Red Hat derivative) is scheduled to be released tomorrow, May 18th. But if you dual boot Windows XP, please be very cautious when installing or upgrading from FC1. There is a bug, reported as early as FC2 test 1 that can prevent you from booting to your WIndows XP partition after the FC2 install. Bugs, especially when dealing with Microsoft coexistence, are inevitable, but the very callow attitude of many in the Fedora community to such a dangerous bug is quite alarming.
