Subject: Re: Fedora Core Three

Fedora is the unstable development version of the redhat version you 
have to pay for. As such its going to have allot of bugs in every 
release. It only exists to provide redhat with a cheap and effective 
way to test there for sale products; every user of any fedora release 
is simply a non paid beta tester.

In my humble opinion I would stay away from it and never use fedora. 
Try debian if you can is its easy to update and maintain, debian 
testing if you want more stability then fedora but less bleeding 
edge.
