I am about to reinstall fc2. FC3 I dont like it. SElinux sucks! I am reconsidering mandrake again.

I have FC2 with custom 2.6.9 kernel on my Athlon 64 rig. FC2 stock on my firewall and both FC2 and FC3 on my test machine. I'm currently downloading FC3 x86_64 for a future upgrade--need to look at my storage array situation first. ;) My firewall will probably be the last FC2 system that I'll upgrade.

What I want to do (and it will take some serious work to get there) is use strictly GigE on my LAN and have a diskless FC3 image sitting on my server that I can netboot from. That way, I'll have Linux access from my two Windows machines without having to actually install Linux on them. My server, using a four disk RAID0 setup can push data across gigabit Ethernet faster than a locally installed hard drive, so I'll migrate those drives back to the server. If all goes as I invision it, I'll never have to install an OS to any of my workstations again--just plug them into the LAN and boot.

Right now FC2, eventually upgrading to FC3.

Dog-One's idea seems to be in line with the Stateless Linux project (http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/stateless/).

Just disable Selinux..its worthless [causes more problems than it solves or prevents], then reinstall fc3. I do hope they just remove that thing in the next release.

FC3 too. It was a big jump from FC1. :p
I don't have any problems with FC3 any more and it works just fine (except Nautilus crashes not so often, I haven't reported them yet, because I have to figure out why they happen, but it seems that maybe it is even reported already).
