Fedora Core 

Homepage: http://fedora.redhat.com/

One of the two continuations of RedHat 9 after it split into RHEL and Fedora Core in 2003.

Fedora Core is a completely FOSS GNU/Linux distro that uses RPM, Yum and a modified Linux and is financially supported by RedHat, Inc. Fedora has a very fast release cycle, producing two or three stable releases a year. As of version 3, all of Fedora Core is rather big, taking up four CDs and a little less than seven GB of hard drive space, although not nearly that much is needed to get a Fedora system up and running. Also as of version 3, the default desktop environment is GNOME but included in the nearly seven GB is also KDE and Xfce.

As of the Fedora Core 4 tests, Fedora is for the x86, x64 and PPC CPU architectures.
The only OSs on my hard drive are different versions of Fedora Core :)

Fedora-Core 

A type of taste common amongst fedora-wearing individuals. This includes Queen, Linkin Park, Metallica, My Little Pony, Reddit, 9GAG, Slayer, and Slipknot. They are often identified as Atheists, but not just tame individuals, they often like to create arguments out of thin air and look down on anyone that believes in a deity. They often perceive themselves as more intelligent than the common man, and act arrogant to make up for their lack of confidence.
"In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phony god's blessing. But, because I am enlightened by my own intelligence." -Alewis

"That was Fedora-Core as hell"

Fedora-core 

Basically the swingy/jazzy music. Gives listener cinema noir vibes as if they’re smoking in a dark lounge while listen to that music. For reference, listen to these songs:
Foetus - Descent into the Inferno
PIG - It Tolls for Thee (Pigbreath)
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Stagger Lee

"Hey Sally, you want to hang out this weekend?"
"I can't, I have dance."
"You're such a Bunhead."

"Yeah... I know."

trucker's tan 

A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.
I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
