Stumbled on the folder looking through ftp and noticed that it had an
update that I wanted to try (this was way back in Redhat 6.x days).

Later I discovered that you could actually 'work' for rawhide (think
during a test phase for FC1 and I've been 'addicted' ever since.

(Before this, I'd been running development Gnome using garnome, so I was
used to a broken system ;-]  Gnome development is much better now.)

Mmmm, I think I've answered this above.

Preview of things to come.  Like bleeding edge (and willing to put up
with less than perfect system at times).  Happy to do a little testing
and offer some time back to the guys who build my desktop.
