On Fedora Core 4 I've been using 2.4.0 since its release with out too
many issues. It seems more stable than the 2.2 series. It doesn't seem
to display the exchange calendar in the clock-applet and there are a
few other issues but its fairly stable. As for the 2.4.1 release I
can't even get eds compiled on FC4 so I'm waiting for it to hit
rawhide to see what patches are applied by the experts.
