mike,
for a more modern fedora, wait about 4 days... the new fedora core comes out.
also, you may want to check out debian (apt-get), mandrake (urpmi) and
gentoo (emerge).
the big disadvantage/advantage of gentoo is that it re-compiles all
updates. this takes time, but your system will always be up-to-date and
you don't have to do major version upgrades (like you would with mandrake
and fedora). debian systems never need a full version upgrade either with
apt-get, but installing it can be a pain and i've heard rumors (nothing
concrete, mind you) that debian may be on its way out. but don't quote me
on that.
