Whoa, Fedora Core will slow it down to a halt if you use any GUIs. I'm not even going to put it on my PIII 450mhz with 256mb of RAM because I'm scared it won't run smoothly.

You're scared to put it on a 450MHZ PIII?????!!!!!!!!
I just installed FC3 on my 333MHZ PII comp and it works great even with KDE and Gnome, its winxp that yo have to worry about when it comes to slower comps.

BTW I will be using that same PII comp as a teamspeak or counter-strike:source server, I'm not even worried about lag or poor performance.
