It is popular and worthy of such, IMO.

I have installed FC3 on only one machine so far but it was only running
for about 30 hours before I shut it down for the long weekend. I'll have
to look into any reports of memory issues. Look around fedoraforum.org
and the Fedora sections of linuxquestions.org. That's what I'll go do,
when I get the chance.

Fedora defaults to the GRUB installer but still includes LILO, I think.
It does give you several options on where to put the bootloader and so on.
I don't think you will have any problems with this issue. Just choose
carefully when the installer asks you about it.
