Hi!

Support is growing.  Just make sure that /etc/you.config is set up to
read from fedora at least you can set it up to read from other folks too
Click on the update icon and hit cancel at the logon to redhat option. 
I was able to download an update to mozilla and (Ihope) more is on the
way.
You might want to spend some time at fedora.redhat.com or livna.org you
can find more info on yum and apt-get.  These are GREAT!
