When I upgraded (installed fresh) Fedora Core 4 I immediately noticed that my teeth were whiter, my abs were tighter and more sexy, and my party bashes had great-looking beer-commercial women at them. Seriously, this release has given me about half the problems that "3" did. Of course I know a lot more now than I did then and that could have something to do with it. I would advise sticking with it and working out the problems. You will gain a TON of (marketable) knowledge in a really short amount of time. Patrick
