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.
