I ask this because I cant believe all the troubles so many people are
having. Is there something wrong with Core 3?

I think Fedora Core is one of the best distros you can use regardless of your experience with Linux. It is very hard to beat the ease of installation and the GUI components have improved with every release. I've been fooling with Red Hat products since Red Hat Linux 6.1. I still remember the absolute hell of upgrading to Red Hat 6.2. Anaconda was a bit rough around the edges in those days. Bust mostly, I was new to Linux, new to the hardware I was trying to install on, and as a result I made a ton of mistakes. I did one thing right: I kept on trying until I succeeded. (At this point I pat myself on my back warmly before clicking the "send" button.)
