Product     : Fedora Core 3
Name        : kernel
Version     : 2.6.11
Release     : 1.27_FC3
Summary     : The Linux kernel (the core of the Linux operating system)
Description :
The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of any
Linux operating system.  The kernel handles the basic functions
of the operating system:  memory allocation, process allocation, device
input and output, etc.

to go out as an update in the next few days unless someone finds
something catastrophically wrong with it.
