One caution.... While FC3 is new any on-line update will be slow and fragile. For about three weeks the public mirrors are likely to be saturated to a degree that downloads will time out and need to be restarted. It will also be rare to find full wire speed downloads because of the demand. I recommend bittorrent, curl or the new version of wget to download the ISO images. Second caution: Upgrades can present a system admin with some configuration changes. If you have to ask how, and do not have a second machine you might wish to watch this list and keep a note book of the solution/problem topics that people report here. My limited testing with FC3testN tells me that with the exception of udev local device things the update will be manageable. I expect that some of my special 'dag' packages will break and need to be updated. Same is true for packages that I have installed by hand. -- T o m M i t c h e l l spam unwanted email.
