Fedora Core 2 Test 3, very satisfied so far.

This is the first Linux distribution I've tried that didn't screw up the entire setup when I updated the kernel. For once, it didn't blow up the LAN connection has well has some drivers for hardware components. With this release (or test release, although most Linux distro version seems like beta products somehow), Linux (Red Hat/Fedora in particular) really starts to look like a real desktop OS, not only one for geeks.

A working Up2Date system is one of the key component before we can start to install an OS on normal users' boxes.

Congrats to Fedora team.

I've been pretty impressed with the yum updating system since fedora's 1st release. The only driver issues I've had were kernel problems that have been fixed in subsequent realeases.

One thing that I do not like about fedora is redhat's view that they should change packages around at their discresion. I dont mind if they add extras, but it is agravating when they remove an important piece of a package (kpackage manager in the kde packages for instance)
