http://downloads.pf.itd.nrl.navy.mil/core/packages/4.0/
This is the first release of CORE that doesn't require you to patch and recompile your kernel. Using Ubuntu 10.04 or Fedora 12 or 13, you can install a single package (deb or rpm) and build virtual networks, using Linux network namespace containers. FreeBSD 8.x and OpenVZ are still supported platforms.
Quickstart installation instructions are here:

Quagga is available from the following page with OSPF MDR extensions:

Standard Quagga may also be used, but the configs generated for wireless routers will not be recognized.
Here are some of the high-level changes since version 3.5:
- Python framework with Linux network namespace (netns) support
- (Linux netns is now the primary supported platform)
- ability to close the GUI and later reconnect to a running session (netns only)
- EMANE integration (netns only)
- new topology generators, host file generator
- user-editable Observer Widgets
- use of /etc/core instead of /usr/local/etc/core
- various bugfixes
