Desktop/Server Upgrade
Updated (fresh install) my main desktop/buildsystem/file/dns/dhcp server machine to Fedora 8. My meticulous pre-upgrade preparation of recording how everything was configured led to a very good result - an almost painless update.
The biggest issue I'm having is that the X server regularly hangs in a SIGALARM loop, rendering it useless and having to be sent a SIGKILL. As I do most work remotely, this isn't currently a showstopper but it's a bug I need to get fixed. Will raise a bugzilla ticket on it soon.
