Fedora Core 1 is past end of life
Updates require fedoralegacy and I'm not certain how they are keeping
up. It isn't what I would install today.
Fedora Core is also last of Fedora 2.4 kernel - Fedora went to 2.6
kernel with Fedora 2 - there have been many updates to Fedora Core 2 but
on the whole it works pretty well. This is likely to go end of life in
April/May
Fedora Core 3 is current and is a much improved 2.6 kernel
distro...things have been worked through very well. It is also extremely
parallel to RHEL 4 and the manuals for RHEL 4 would be very helpful.
All Fedora's are reasonably easy to set up. The newer the distribution,
the larger the hardware database is - thus plug and play gets better all
the time.
