    Ok, I'm having trouble with my home network firewall box, and it may
    need a reinstall (hard drive problems).

    This is a 166MHz Pentium-S. Don't even *think* of telling me to go out
    and buy new hardware.... It's got under 100M RAM, and I'm not sure I
    have space to put more DIMMs in.

    It's a firewall/router, and *nothing* else. I don't install X on such a box.

    So, I'd like some comments: should I go to Fedora 2 or 3? Is it the case
    that with 2, it started using kernel 2.6? If so, do I have to worry
    about speed, or memory size?
