How's everyone? I was excited to try out the rest3 version of FC4, it
installed flawlessly on my machine, and so far have not been
experiencing any problems except for when up2date freezes when it says
it's gathering a list of packages on my machine. I read the messages
and apparently it's a common bug everyone's experiencing so I'm not
too worried about it. I'm using yum update instead and that works fine.
I like all the new features, but it did take me a little bit to get
used to where the configuration options are now (like add/remove
packages, etc), but they're in a much more logical position now than
they were before. Also love all the stuff that comes with KDE now,
there's a ton of stuff I have yet to try out :)
I've done beta testing before (I'm doing that now for an online game)
so I know to expect bugs and glitches, but aside from the bug I've
mentioned, test3's been working very well for me.

Hello Jared,
I have installed FC4T3 on my IBM ThinkPad T-30 and it installed
flawlessly as well. And you right - there is still a bug with Up2Date,
as it freezes. In fact, I prefer to use YUM anyway because I can see
the results as the updates download. The only problem that I initially
had after the installation was that LimeWire did not function properly.
I corrected that situation by using a newer version of Java and it was
working again. The only difference between you and me is that I am using
the Gnome desktop environment, which works great for me.
