Default What's the deal with FC4?

Hey guys and guyetttes,

Just wondering what the deal with FC4 is, I did some reading and the only thing I found out is that FC4 uses the 2.6.10 Kernel opposed to the FC3 (2.6.9 Kernel) what is the difference and what are going to be the Advantages/ disadvantages of upgradeing to FC4?

well, for one thing, newer kernel gives you better support for your hardware... However, newer kernel might not be as stable as a time tested kernel.. but if your not running any servers or anything, it doesn't really matter.. overall, it's good to upgrade your kernel once in a while.. if your distro released a new version, it's usually a good idea to upgrade to it
