Hi Jason,

Yes, we use Fedora Core 3, 4, and 5 here at Unidata.  We recommend that
new Fedora Core installations always use the latest supported distribution
which is currently Fedora Core 5.  (Fedora Core 6's release is imminent,
but we appreciate our sites holding off on installations of bleeding edge
releases until after we have had a chance to test our packages.)

Also, given the note you attached from Barry, we do no longer offer
binary distributions of the LDM.  We feel that it is _much_ better
to build the LDM on the system on which it will run.

> Thanks for your time

Cheers,

Tom
