The standard kernel on the Fedora Core 3 CD's or DVD doesn't support SATA drives.

The best thing you can do is to get the latest Fedora Core 5 or OpenSuse 10.1, which support all current hardware.

You can also compile your own kernel, but FC3 is soon out of support, also with now-a-day hardware you probably will have more problems with audio, video and other devices.

Wireless networking with FC3 are known to give users the Kojak syndrome, Theo Kojak (officially Telly Savalas) was a Police Inspector in a popular TV show in the early 90s, and was known for his bald appearance.
