A caveat to using Fedora Core is that it is their “bleeding edge” branch. Normally that is a plus, but it’s bitten me in the ass before. General rule of thumb is to only go with Fedora Core if you are ok with stuff potentially breaking or being incompatible.

To avoid the bleeding/breaking, I tend to be about 1 rev behind the current… and can pick up ‘updates’ to fix the one installed. That is why I am running FC10 though FC11 is out.

I have noticed less FC breakage these days though.

Hope he realizes that he can’t throw a computer into the trash.. has to be recycled.. and to do in the drive, you have to do more than bang on the other components. It was surprising how tough the computer was though..

I used to do that too until I realized they swiftly cut off support/updates to old Cores after only a year or so. This is the ‘bitten in the ass’ to which I referred. So if you plan on using your machine for more than a year, I wouldn’t recommend Fedora Core unless you’re cool with doing a full system update every year (which isn’t always possible in some environments where downtime is a no-no).

You should look into CentOS. Not as bleeding edge as FC but pretty good. It’s basically free version of Red Hat Enterprise.
