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.

"A new addition in the multimedia arena is the Helix Player: I can't put this one to good use. In fact, it annoyed me greatly that just about the only time it wanted to do something was when I clicked (yeah, right!) an rpm-file in Firefox. <snip> Come on, I certainly do not want to "listen" to my 3rd party packages, *g*."
This is a server-side issue with the Apache configuration. Most Apache webservers are set up to associate the .rpm extension with a RealMedia stream of MIME type audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin. If this happened on an Internet site, you need to ask the server administrator to configure Apache such that .rpm is linked to MIME type application/x-rpm.
Any time the RealMedia plugin is installed in Mozilla or Firefox, it automatically links .rpm and audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin. However, if the web server says .rpm is application/x-rpm, you'll be able to download the file instead of the browser firing up the Real plugin.
