James:
  I have posted a few notes about this.
Update from FC2 to FC3 "almost work", but is obvoiusly very unreliable.
I had regular crashes... Until I did a "fresh re-install" on a reformatted
partition.
Now I have a very stable system. Even the bugs are stable ;)

I have read before that updates of an rpm based system is technically very
challenging, this may explain updates do not work so well.
My RH9 to FC2 upgrade was quite good, but of course I had to do a lot of
manual repairs.

Install, including updates, and system changes, seem to be the main
difference between distros.
I like Fedora, but must admit that Mandrake and Suse installs/update tools
are so far better, easier too.

Hopefully someone, maybe at RedHat will put more work there.
I cannot imagine a non technical user accepting to deal with a Red Hat
install: too complex, too difficult, and also no support for Muti-boot
systems (Mandrake shines there!).

Hope I did not offend anyone...
