Fedora Core 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.

Many servers use Fedora. SourceForge will switch from Debian to Fedora.

This is the _best_ way to improve free software.
Other distribs are free to benefic the work done by Fedora. This is why a "love" Fedora.

This is not the Fedora touch :
- "wait for some else do the job and then use it."
