After fresh installation I think I was able to configure everything from the gui config tools, then I noticed system-config-network won't write out the files properly, nor would system-config-securitylevel. Probably others too. Luckily I've been using RedHat since 5.0, and I can do all that at the prompt, but I feel sorry for the new people. Maybe on other people's systems it works fine, but based on my own experience, without a doubt FC4 is the buggiest release I've ever seen. And, again, I've seen since 5.0 every single day. Other than that it's fine. :)
