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.

It used to be that RH really only put moderately stable software in their dist, they did a pretty decent job of not including versions with horrible issues. Fedora though seems to be more typical of a "bleeding edge" distribution and it's including new versions with all their problems.
As for your sound, you should research it. I highly doubt it's truly unsupported... Either OSS or ALSA probably has some driver somewhere for it; I've got a couple of machines with AC'97 variants (AC97 actually isn't the sound, there is a multitude of sound codecs used and called AC97).
