[KLUG Members] rpm trouble - FC3 install

[R.M.Deal]

I just installed FC3 over my RH9 system which worked beautifully.
I did not follow Adam's advice and save /home and restore it later and I 
have lost nothing that I have noticed so far.
The only problem I've had is in getting planetCCRMA, the Stanford U. 
sound system, to work, using the apt system which I had been using with 
good results with RH9.  However, using the GNOME "system 
settings"->"soundcard detection" led me to good sound output but without 
the simple choice between the motherboard sound Intel chip and a 
separate sound card which I had with CCRMA.  The problem with CCRMA is 
that they have not yet even gotten a version that works well with FC2, 
so I'll have to wait a while.

I updated my FC3 conversion with up2date which worked like a charm with 
no hitches so I now have a truly current system which should give better 
performance. So far I haven't noticed it.   A GNOME startup problem 
which I had had in RH9 is still present but gnome comes up fine for my 
purposes.  I'm sure security is better than with RH9 and I look forward 
to other improvements.   I had planned on going to SUSE, following 
Bruce's advice but when I saw the Fedora Core 3 announcement, I jumped 
on it.  As I write this, I'm listening to to an mp3 of 'like a bird on a 
wire' sung by Leonard Cohen which I had just grip'd from a CD, taking 
less time it seemed than before.
