I wouldn't recommend Fedora Core for a production system - at least not 
a server.  For one thing, FC3 is now obsolescent, and FC updates in 
general have a very good chance of breaking things; I know from personal 
experience.  Once support stops for a Fedora Core version, security 
updates via Fedora Legacy are few and far between.

I'd go with CentOS 4.2 instead, or, if you have the bucks, the 
corresponding RHEL version.  Updates are provided for a much longer 
period, and are far less likely to break things.
