Installed Fedora Core 2 earlier today. And, it does not
leave a good impression. The install was successful.
But, that's about it. It fails to boot. On boot,
it had problems with the following:

- my printer (HP LaserJet 5)
- initializing USB (saying something about USB controller and dependencies)
- hangs when starting "system logger"
- fails to go into graphical login mode

And, that's only what I remember. So, no thanks to Fedora Core 2.

RH9 gave no problems whatsoever. I don't care if
it's obsolete so long as it serves my needs.
