For this article, I chose to take a slightly different approach than the standard "Linux distribution review". As I have written not just one, but two reviews of Fedora Core 2 for this site, I want to base my review of Fedora Core 3 on my experiences with its direct predecessor. Update: FC3 shots here.

Haha, it says 'Linux enthusiast' at the bottom, right under his 'I'm still (..) not really happy with Desktop Linux"
It's my impression too, I use Ubuntu, it's fine, for being free and mostly community-based (Debian), really an effort worth appreciating.
Still in some regards it can't give to me what Windows gives me, while in others it's way ahead (easy to have a secure installation, lots of packages etc). I guess, like everything in life, it's a tradeoff. But it gets more easy for me every month to use Linux more exclusively. Less painful. Using mostly Openoffice, Firefox, Thunderbird and Gaim, it doesn't really matter which platform I'm using (That's a good thing about most OSS-projects too - easy portability).
And Linux HAS two killer apps for me already. They're called Pingus and Slune, and are not available on Windows!
