Galeon has been deprecated in favor of epiphany, a newer replacement for
galeon.

If you are using the "standard" up2date for Fedora that uses the rawhide
channel, you will be notified of updates to the kernel.  The current
kernel on my machine from a recent update is 2.4.22-1.2096.nptl and I
just checked and 2.4.22-1.2097 is ready to download along with a dozen
or so other packages.
