Problems with Fedora Core 3

[Naoki]

This was a far more informed posting than mine.  Correct, I'm running
64-bit FC6 perfectly with on-board sound. However Mauriat has reminded
me that I am running 32-bit Firefox so that is the main issue it seems
for people. Xine/mplayer/vlc though have not let me down..
