One big difference here is the kernel. Fedora Core 3 uses the 2.6 kernel,
and some modules were not ported to it.

While this may not be relevant, in the class I teach at NEU, we installed
Linux in class. The students had a choice of Fedora Core 4 or SuSE 10.0.
One student with a laptop had previously loaded Fedora Core 4, and was
unable to get the wireless running. When he installed SuSE 10, the
wireless (IPW2200) came right up.
