For marketing purposes they continue to use the Pentium brand name.  Don't 
know why they continue to use the 686 family designation for everything 
from a PPro 150MHz chip to a P4 3GHz chip.  They're not exactly the same 
thing anymore.  (I would have thought that a P4 would be an 886.)

I finally managed to get FC2 to upgrade 7.3 on my dual PPro server, 
but it wasn't pretty.  I had to cut out a lot of the installed 7.3 stuff 
by hand (rpm -e for individual packages) before the FC2 upgrade would 
work.  It would get to the step where it was setting up the rpm 
transaction and then bomb with an unexpected error.

There's still problems with upgrades.  For example, an `up2date -u` 
on the server returns the following error:

-------------------
Testing package set / solving RPM inter-dependencies...
There was a package dependency problem. The message was:

Unresolvable chain of dependencies:
openssl-devel-0.9.7a-30                  requires openssl = 0.9.7a-30
--------------------

The version of openssl installed from CD is 0.9.7a-23, and both the 
regular package & devel are installed.  I guess I'll see if Fedora's 
version of apt is better at handling dependencies than up2date.  There's 
also yum, so I guess I've got some options.

Cheers,

James
