Bittorrent and Download FC3

I've been using Linux varities off and on since Slackware 0.99 (mostly
as a server).

It is only lately that I have converted my workstation over to Linux
completely. I finally felt that I could get everything I needed.

I was proven right today. I've just installed FC3. I have not done
anything with respect to configuration except for what is needed for
installation and update.

I hooked up my Sony DSC-P52 (PTP Mode) to the USB port and the import
tool automatically loaded. It does not even do that on the "You Know
What" operating system.

I have to figure out why k3b burned me with the burning. Excuse the
pun. Still better than the trouble I had with Nero and my DVD Burner
(LG).
