I just loaded FC3 last night on my test system. So far I have not had any problems but then I have not used it much yet. You should post specific problems you are having with each item you listed above. Many of these appear familiar, I believe I have seen postings on them here on the mailing list. For example the Open Office problem. A couple of months ago and again just this past week a change that reduces memory consumption is to comment out or remove languages used by the spell checker. This seems to solve slowness problems primarily due to memory usage of that feature. Also, why would have to reboot? Kill the process, that should free up its resources. Not sure but the usb driver issues have been talked about a lot here. I have ignored it mostly since I have not experienced those issues. Was this the udev problem? I think there was a solution. Not enough info on your network problems to guess at that. kernel update issues have also been discussed here. You would need to supply specific info as to which kernel, hardware specs on the machine for someone to guess at what is going on. You would need to supply more info on the programs that you compiled that crashed. Should be able to debug such an occurrence to determine what the root cause is. -- Scot L.
