Googling RHEL 3.0 issues a couple of years ago and saw the Fedora books
on the shelf at the bookstore.

Downloaded FC2T1, installed and learned from the series. Joined the FC
lists. Filed a couple of bug reports. Installed FC3T1 and continued
on. Currently have FC2 final with updates to legacy point, FC3 with
updates, FC4 with updates and Rawhide on a multi-boot system. The
Rawhide installation started as FC3T1 and has been updated from
development since then (some wild times!!). The multiboot system also
has the other major distros installed.

It is challenging and fun to keep Rawhide up-to-date and to compare its
features with the other distros (SuSE, Mandriva, Gentoo, Slack, Debian,
RHEL 4 and a couple other derivatives).
The lists are invaluable for the testing that I try to do. Also, as
always, Google is our friend.
