New Fedora Linux pushed back a week

The release of Fedora Core 4, the latest free version of Linux from Red Hat, has been pushed back a week.

Fedora programmers had hoped to release Fedora Core 4 June 6, but the current schedule now gives June 13 as the release date. The move means the software likely will arrive at just about the same time as Sun Microsystems' OpenSolaris.

Red Hat and its programmers have largely controlled Fedora for most of its existence, but the company is make Fedora into a neutral project through the establishment of the Fedora Foundation last week.
