We are running ubuntu on fairly basic equipment, but I do agree, forget 
Fedora past ver 11 for older equipment.
With respect to cutting edge and the necessity thereof, much of the 
world still uses neolithic windows versions. Fedora 10 and 11 are light 
years ahead of those, is there any reason they too could not be 
acceptable on low end systems?
The questions could be, what apps 'need' to be run?
Can you get away with openoffice, gimp, inkscape, audacity and so many 
other early version apps.
Do you need compatibility with late version apps?
What are the fears/problems with running an OS that is only 1-2 years old?
