Fedora Test 3, is, most certainly, as the name says, a test. In my experience there are a few problems and a few bugs that would keep me from recommending it as an everyday desktop replacement, but nonetheless, Fedora is an Operating System (distro) worth watching out.

Radeon 9600/9800 is not supported hardware. ATI has not released doc for R300 based cards so it is not possible to write a driver. You're stuck with the binary ones from ATI.
I have a system with both SATA and IDE drives (Dell PE400SC, also Dimension 8300). It was a two day ordeal for me to get Fedora running. grub and the BIOS didn't agree on the numbering of the drives so everything got put in the wrong places. Much hand editing was required to get a bootable system.
