Yesterday I had a need to re-install FC2 (for a test system to be demoed 
in Houston).  It has no problem with my nForce2 based motherboard (I 
hope this also serves as a clarification of my previous statement).

For all OSS systems, we should realize that the motto "the devil is in 
the details" couldn't be more true.  After installation, I ran yum 
update (this actually moves FC2 past the FC3T1 for patches), followed by 
"yum install" to install mplayer, mplayerplug-in, flash-plugin, and 
xmms-mp3.  Finally, I went to Fedora rawhide to install OpenOffice.org 
1.1.2 (there are major differences b/t 1.1.2 and 1.1.1, and the benefits 
outweigh the risks of installing from rawhide).

After making sure everything is working, I went to Mozilla to load CJK 
language modules, as well as installed RealPlayer-10 rpm.  I won't go 
into details, but as far as internationalization goes, this is the best 
system in the history of computing, and is still improving.  wayne
