FC4 seems like it will be more beneficial. RedHat finally came to an 
agreement with MySQL and it will have 4.17 in it I am told.
So no more rpms compiles for me! I'll be happy about that because this 
is an issue on several servers I take care of.
 
I did upgraded from FC2 to FC3 but did not like the results of an 
"upgrade". Mostly I did it simply to stay current.
I ended up doing a fresh install and simply copying back the config 
files, home directories and data files.
One thing that FC3 does is create logical volumes by default when 
freshly installed.
At the same time I used Disk Druid to create software raid volumes, so I 
now have software raid 1 on my personal server and workstation. Since 
then I have been so pleased with it and mdadm that I have moved a couple 
of clients to software raid as well.
