I'd say go with RH 4.0. because that's where all the bug fixes
will go. I don't think they are going to support 3.0.3 as much
as before (if at all?). By the time 4.0 arrives, the worst
bugs (hopefully) will be filtered out. In the mean time, download
_all_ the 'official' updates from their FTP site not to get
frustrated when installing 4.0. Personally, I am gonna go and buy
(in a local store) tomorrow or after tomorrow.
BTW, a couple of days ago, someone from Florida sent me the
November issue of Linux Journal for free and without any
explanations. Anyone else got such a surprise? I keep
wondering...
