[plug] Fedora Core 3 update

[Chris Watt]

I run FC 3 on a single processor P2 300mhz with only 128 ram with
XFCE4.  Little slow to do things graphically, but works well command
line.

It's only really used as in internal webserver for me to test on at
the moment.  anyone willing to part with an old P3?
