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.

I see here that the primary use of fedora seems to be desktop orientated. But what now when some companies are developing server applications that have Fedora as OS specification.
How are updates handled, do one get feature changes or is it security only?
Ever since redhat the base install using the regular installer has been around 1GB, is this the case with fedora aswell, because when I install a server i don't won't all those x-app, printing utils.. etc. that wasn't deselectable in the install? You had to remove somewhere around 150 packages to get a usable solution.
When working against a enterprice software provider it's almost impossible to get further specs than kernel-this and libstdc++-that.
Is it really a working solution to run a server application on this desktop distribution?
