More or less you need to choose one and stick with it, since they work differently and you'll confuse your system about what's up to date.
I use yum, and it's pretty slick -- I prefer a command line approach; of course, they changed a bit about how it operates from FC2 to FC3, but I have to say it seems faster in FC3. Updates/security fixes come pretty fast -- every week or so there will be several programs that will update. I think I've had about 3 or 4 kernel upgrades since I switched to FC3 (all within the 2.6.9 series of kernels). Not having broadband would be a pain. You should be able to find someone to buy (or borrow) the disks/DVD from cheap (or free). FC4 is scheduled to come out in May -- they are saying that FC2 will go to "legacy status" in March. Greg
