I would be inclined, if you have sufficient bandwidth, to download and install Fedora Core 6 from here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ or wait a few days, just until 31may2007, for Fedora 7 (they're dropped the "Core") and download that. Fedora Core 3 is out of maintenance and upgrading will be hard. It would be better to start with a clean install of the most recent version so that you can stay up to date in future. You will also get current Firefox releases with this, etc. You may be concerned about running very recent stuff on older/slower hardware. You should be fine; if the desktop environment seems to overload your hardware there are ways to use more lightweight desktops instead of the defaults. | So, now all I need to make my day complete is an rpm package for | Fedora Core 3 to install BOINC Client & manager....or a suitable | 'generic' tarball and howto for installing....
