Just a note to say that that FC1 EOL is not end of this month - but FC2-release-date + 2/3 months. Also fedora-legacy does indicate the legacy-lifetime for FC1 as approximately 1.5 years extra. (If I understand the FAQ correctly - FC1 legacy support will be stopped when FC4 becomes EOL/legacy) And the initial poster can stick with RHL7.3 for a while longer (if he wishes to) with the fedora-legacy updates.
