But realistically, what people want is close-to-the latest plus
some stuff that none of the above includes, like mplayer, xine,
xmms with mp3 support, java, flash and the browser plugins for
them, etc., so you want FC3 or FC4 with all current updates
and a bunch of 3rd party packages.   It can be done, but
it's not necessarily pretty.
