[K12OSN] Fedora Core 5 Released

[Dan Dwelley]

So...does the updated nautilus work any better then the one in FC4?
Seems more often than not, nautilus crashes and needs to be restarted.
This is not a big deal most of the time...but when I do use the GUI and
browse the file folders...

Oh, I know that yum is accessible from the menus.  One thing I left out
from the notes is that the instructions for installing the terminal are
shown like this:

You can install it using the following command:

yum install nautilus-open-terminal

So, the notes suggest using a command-line to install a command-line.
Perhaps this is one of those recursive programmer jokes.  Humor aside, I
question the wisdom of not including a terminal by default in a
Unix-like system as I think most people would expect one without needing
to manually install it.  But perhaps I'm just old fashioned.
