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.

1.) Pain installing the nVidia drivers, requiring a workaround (disabling the x-server during bootup and making symlinks for nvidia /dev entries in /etc/udev/devices).
The udev feature just expose s the flaw of Nvidia driver thus it is not utopia fault. Nvidia team is aware of that issue and are probably working on that problem. After all, they did a good job when their driver had an issue with 4 stacks.
2.) Pain finding repositories that were up to date for FC3, so I could install the missing packages that make a Linux desktop usable (some packages were much much harder to find for Fedora than they were for Ubuntu).
Check out http://www.fedorafaq.org for find repositories or even a custom yum.conf. Fedora.us is behind the schedule though.
3.) Annoying bugs (java crashing firefox, no sound in mozilla mplayer plugin, etc.) I never did get java working in Firefox using FC3
Which version of Firefox do you use?
Don't forget that is the third week after FC3 release compared to about 2 months Ubuntu.
