I'll wait for a more stable Fedora. There is too much going on that makes me very leery of adding problems to my system.
Thanks, Chris
Just as a side note, don't confuse the unstable development Fedora with the actually quite stable Core 1 + stable updates. You'll hear a lot more on the lists from people who are testing unstable or prerelease packages simply because those do cause more problems.
That's also why you see all the 2.6 kernel discussion, even though Fedora's official kernel is still 2.4 based. (Those people are either helping test for Core 2, which plans on including some big changes like switching to 2.6, or simply can't wait and are installing their own new kernel.)
If you just want a stable installation, install Core 1 and all of the updates in "core/updates/1".
Proposed updates move, IIRC, from "testing" to "unstable" to "stable" (== "1"), as they get tested and their stability improves.
I hope this helps.

Hi everyone,
Which path do I take for upgrading:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/1...
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing...
With all the commentary on the problems found I am a little uneasy making a change that will freeze me in the water, so to speak.
Also I notice everyone mentions version 2.6 of the kernel when 2.4 is still in the upgrades area.

To get the development programs, you would use the below link or a mirror equivelent.
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/
Watch out for kudzu, python related programs and even some documentation rpms. I won't install about 30 of the development programs yet. Most seem to not break things.
