Hey - everyone is taking this way too seriously.  It's a new distro, I'm
screwing around with it on a devel machine.  I mean, come on.  The
Fedora home page essentially says "don't use this on production
machines," so it's not like I'm going to run the computers that keep a
patient's heart beating with it.

I'm just having fun, that's all.

Very good advice on the rsync thing, tho, thanks!
