Why did you "reply" instead of "write?" Threaded email clients (and

Well, you should read up on what FC is for. It's for testing; if you
don't like the bleeding edge, get off it. Use a RHEL clone (or even
RHEL), or 'drake or SuSe or Ubuntu or something.
I'm running FC3 on a couple of relatively unimportant systems. I'd not
bet my business on it.
