[OT] YDL 4.0

Tue Jul 13 01:02:03 2004

Greetings,

   I have used Fedora Core 1 and Fedora Core 2 for X86 for some time now. 
In my opinion Fedora Core 1 was good and Fedora Core 2 is better.  Do
we know which Fedora Core YDL4 will be based off of?  I am really
looking forward to YDL4 after being very pleased with Fedora Core 2.

Thanks,
   Chris Anderson
