Announcing Fedora Core 3 Test 2

Not all the software in the world resides in the Fedora updates repo, and I didn't claim that the updates repo consists only of nomenclature changes or gaim updates either.

I did try using RH's bugzilla. Most of the problems I ran into had been reported long before and were either ignored, improperly marked as being fixed (often after no action on the bug had been taken), or marked WONTFIX or NOTABUG. Looking through their bugzilla again now, it appears one of the bugs I was tracking, first reported in RH9 and marked as fixed several times without making real progress, may finally be fixed in FC3.

Fedora might be fine as a server; RH has been fairly consistent with their security updates, and besides rpm locks or hangs (most of which may well occur when using up2date or system-config-packages and its ilk) almost all of the other problems I had were with X-based stuff.
