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 have digital camera (Olympus Camedia 2040Zoom), which works through usb-storage. and i have different sized memory cards. When changing cards, i had similar problem (I have been using mostly Mandrake before.) Following worked (on MDK):
umount /mnt/camera
(switch off the camera, change the card)
modprobe -r usb-storage
modprobe usb-storage
(switch the camera on )
mounting the camera (by hand or automagically)
and no need for reboot (not sure if this is correct way)...
About Fedora. I have to admit that i'm impressed how easy was the installation of FC3. I bought a new laptop (HP) couple of weeks ago. Tried to install MDK 10.0 (official). It didn't work. Tried SimplyMepis, it installed ok, worked, but i managed to break that.
Tried FC3. Wow. It worked... Basically everything. Well, i'm not sure about cd-burning, haven't tried it yet.
It's not have been all good.
mp3s. - well... freshrpms... :-)
KDE - i understand that it may not be first priority of the development team, it wouldn't hurt to include some (good, like gwenview) third party kde packages? Isn't there space on the fourth cd???
