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.

Tried installing it before. Biggest problem I had (and with Red Hat 9.0) was getting around the fact that it can't handle dual videocards for a dual-head system very well. Installing Red Hat with 2 video cards basically borked the initial installation. It was simply easier to reinstall.
Basically, I had to remove one ofthe video cards, setup Red Hat, and then after it was installed, reinstall the hardware.
Not a big problem, most people don't have a dual head system. However, I believe enough people do that it should warrant some serious looking-into.
I have a dual head RedHat 9 system sitting right next to me at work and it wasn't hard to get working. I didn't need to take out one of the cards, just went through setup and it only detected the first card, then when RedHat booted I added the second card into XF86Config and it works no problem.
