I bought the magazine today. and yes it is a 3 CD distro. i m going to install it on saturday or sunday.
if FC3 is older then which one is newer??
i dont know about the KDE version used in PCQ 2005. but it should be 3.3.x (there is no major release since then as far as i know). So i dont think it is older.
