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.

Any distro that doesn't have a serious package manager will not get a thumbs up from me, simple. Because that's the only feature that seperates linux distros. And that's why I consider 97% of Linux distros as silly and plain nonsensical. Fedora at present fall into that category.
I apologize I may sound a little repugnant, but I hope you understand my perspective. Give me a call when any distro beats portage(currently the best feature rich package manager) robustness (6000 packages) and debian apts(haven't used it in a while, I'm sure it's improving) QA and security (10000 pacakges). Mind you both gentoo's portage and debian's apt suck. They only suck less than anything I've seen resembling a package management system. Which is really sad.
LSB is also silly for adopting RPMs as it's package manager standard. I'll give Red Hat/Fedora one thing though, they are relatively painless to install. My hat's up for that and nothing else.
