I'm using Fedora Core 3 and 2. To be a bit more on topic, I have not had any problems compiling Scribus with FC2 or 3 due to Scribus not being able to find something or not having it up to date. There still is an fstab in FC3 that you can use just like you used to, for mounting other partitions or whatever. I think the whole udev/HAL thing is still a work in progress. When I first upgraded to FC3 suddenly the recognition of my USB storage devices went kablooey until I shut of the haldaemon. It's now fixed even with haldaemon on. Finding the documentation for these new features is my biggest pet peeve. If it wasn't for fedora-list, I would have been stuck several times. I briefly subscribed to fedora-list but the volume of mails was a killer -- now I just browse the archive. Some talk of FC3 being "bleeding-edge" (mostly when someone complains vociferously about problems); I think they just have a lower threshold for releasing updates, and just figure they'll figure out things like the nvidia drivers later. But when they have guys like Alexander Dalloz answering list questions, it's amazing what they can figure out. Greg
