Hey gang,

I noticed some folks hving trouble with Firefox 1.5.0.4. Mozilla just 
released 1.5.0.5 with major security and other issues fixed. I put in a 
bugzilillillilla report, so hopefully that will hit a "yum update" near 
you pretty quickly.

Also, MANY fixes were released with kernel 2.6.17.7 today. I know it's 
coming to a yum update near you, and it fixes a TON of stuff, including 
some issues that people have been reporting here. If you want a sneak 
peek:

That first bug might have even caused one of my machines to crash for the 
first time ever. And, for those who can't get your computers to "wake up":

     pdflush: handle resume wakeups

     2.6.16 needs this. It was merged into 2.6.18-rc1

So hang in there, folks, fixes are on the way!
