Up until a month ago the main server at home was a Redhat 8 box.  It was 
stable for 500ish days, and ran my VNCserver sessions quite nicely.  
(Resumable virtual sessions, uptime to 6+ months.  Gotta love it. ) 

      I recently "upgraded" to Fedora core 1 by copying user bits of the 
home directories across, to leave old the KDE and Gnome configurations 
behind.  It has worked quite nicely, except for some fetchmail 
concerns.  It appears that fedora's fetchmail interprets the 
.fetchmail.conf more strictly, and I had some silly things there.  It 
also seems that they have fixed the gnome-panel memory leak...   
StarOffice is working well, with charts in Calc.  I can't speak to MP3 
or DVD playing, that is all done with the Win2k laptop. 

      Hardware specs: FC1 box: AMD 700MHz, 256Mb.  RH8 Pentium III 
500MHz, 640Mb. 

     Fedora Core 2 will shortly be going on another old PC, as a new 
desktop machine, NFS mounting from the FC1 server.  First I must cable 
in a  KVM in so my FC2 box can share a screen with a Terminal Server box 
I am using for some research work.
