I'm planning on doing a Fedora Core 2 update to my docs when I have the 
chance, but like Chris says, most stuff should be pretty similar. It'll 
be a while before I actually have the time for the update though. I 
just finished downloading my FC2 isos a few minutes ago, now commencing 
burning (yes, I know they aren't released yet, and no, these aren't 
from the torrent ;-). I will probably blow away my workstation and 
start hacking on it shortly, but actual doc changes are probably two 
weeks out. I anticipate the only significant area of difference being 
drivers, but we shall see...
