I tried Fedora Core 3 on my Gateway box 750mhz Athlon 256mb RAM 20gb hard drive. Everything worked great except the sound. It made a costant and loud hissing sound through my speakers, so instead of wasting my time trying to figure it out, I reinstalled Mandrake 10.1 Community. Now everything works the way it's supposed to.
Oh, I almost forgot, my computer dual boots with Windows 2000 and FC3 only gave me 3 seconds to choose and the interface for the bootloader was not friendly enough for my wife, who has no desire to become a computer geek. The bootloader choice I'm sure I could/should have changed but for some reason didn't. I will accept the responsability for this one, but not the sound. That should have been automatically and correctly configured on install, Just like it is in Mandrake.
