As a open source user you have an embarrassment of choices available to
you. The safest way is to wait for your distro's Guarenteed To Work (tm)
binary packages.

Ubuntu always has the latest GNOME builds (but FC3 is a good distro too,
I'm using it). 

Since it'll be a while until FC4 comes out, if you want official
packages you'll have to add the development sources at
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/ to
your yum or apt setup, then just `yum update gnome*` . Right now they're
only at 2.9.91.

Or you could build from source using garnome following the instructions
here http://cipherfunk.org/garnome/documentation.html . If you have the
stomach for it. ;)
