Yes.  And Fedora Core 1 was largely a maturity of Red Hat Linux 9, which
was already a majority of Red Hat Linux 8.  Because the 2-2-2 and 6-6-6
model is still there.

Now I wish Red Hat would make Fedora Core 4 an even more mature version
of the FC2-3 series.  But they are moving forward with GCC 4.0.  I can
understand that, given there was a lot of time between FC3 and RHEL4's
release, so FC3 and RHEL4 are about as mature as they can get.

A lot of any "immaturity" in FC3/RHEL is really more about Linux 2.6
(including LVM2, CIPE, etc...).  And as Linux 2.6 matures, so will
anything based on it.  After all, it took a long time for Linux 2.4 to
mature in the RHL7.x series too, before becoming quite solid in
FC1/RHEL3.

If you don't want to deal with Linux 2.6 yet, then stick with FC1 or
RHEL3, and wait on FC5/RHEL5.

It is mathematically impossible for someone who makes more than you
to be anything but richer than you.  Any tax rate that penalizes them
will also penalize you similarly (to those below you, and then below
them).  Linear algebra, let alone differential calculus or even ele-
mentary concepts of limits, is mutually exclusive with US journalism.
So forget even attempting to explain how tax cuts work.  ;->
