+  </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

+    improvements.    
+  </para>
+  <para>
+    For the first time, all of Fedora Core's tools for software installation and

+  <header>Xen Virtualization</header>
+  <para>
+    Xen, the leading open source virtualization project, is included in Fedora

+    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

+  <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>
+    <ulink
+     
url='http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Security/Features?highlight=%28fst...
+  </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
