I was forced to try and install MS on some ones FC3 machine yesterday
and gave up after trying to install clamav .82 - zlib in FC is 1.2.1 and
clam has a built in tyest during compile (read the output) that it will
let you install with this version that is known to be buggy but do not
ask for help from clamav if you do.

I think if you insist on using distros like FC for production machines
then you are on your own when it comes to this sort of stuff.

FC is NOT designed for use as a production server. Simple.
