RFC - Fedora on old hardware



Ok, I'm having trouble with my home network firewall box, and it may need a reinstall (hard drive problems).

This is a 166MHz Pentium-S. Don't even *think* of telling me to go out and buy new hardware.... It's got under 100M RAM, and I'm not sure I have space to put more DIMMs in.

It's a firewall/router, and *nothing* else. I don't install X on such a box.

So, I'd like some comments: should I go to Fedora 2 or 3? Is it the case that with 2, it started using kernel 2.6? If so, do I have to worry about speed, or memory size?
