I use Fedora core 1 and 2 myself, but I don't recommend FC2 to anyone for a simple reason: it will erase your windows XP partition tables.

To be precise, the problem was limited to FC2's boot/install kernel, and it only corrupted partition tables for folks not using LBA (and it was fixable, by the way). For the record, all subsequent kernels (including what FC3 uses) has the issue fixed.
