Fedora core 1 vs Fedora Core 3

[Charles A. Hodge]

I have a dell poweredge 2300 with lsi raid which is not supported in 
fedora core 3. I have learned that it was supported in fc1. So I'm 
thinking of doing an install of fc1 on this machine. My questions is 
what is the differnce between fc1 and rh8 (which I have the distro for)? 
is the kernel and packages of fc1 newer than that of rh8? what are the 
ramifications of using fc1? I see quite a few people on the list are 
still posting messages about fc1.
