Yes - Fedora Core 2. I was looking for a quick and easy distro to
install Linux on a recently purchased AMD64 box (mostly since the pure64
Debian port was not %100 ready).
This was my first experience with any flavor of Fedora. Simply put, I
was not impressed. Seemed buggy and a good portion of the apps were
still 32bit which meant the OS was overburdened with redundant libraries
both 64bit and 32bit.
Suffice is to say, I went with the Gentoo 64 and have been quite happy.
