The original poster specified Fedora, I took him at his word.

There's nothing which would prevent using CentOS 4 in the VM. There's no 
requirement that a VM on a Fedora host contains a Fedora guest. (And CentOS 
is closely related anyway.) I don't see why you'd use FC4 in the VM rather 
than CentOS 4 unless you really need those packages which are newer in FC4 
or FC4 updates than in the current CentOS 4 updates (and repos like kde-
redhat don't provide the updates you need).

That's true for a dedicated machine, an a good suggestion.

However, on a general use machine I want the newer stuff. ;-) I was more 
thinking the "best of both worlds" with a VM.

CentOS 4 would be a better choice (still gets security updates and is in the 
version range the OP mentioned (it's based on FC3 with some FC4 stuff)).

I'm curious as to why you couldn't install one of them (e.g. CentOS),
yet could do an older version of Fedora?

It's, pretty much, the same routine.

Mattias, what Frank meant was that the chosen public service of a Fedora 
Ambassador is to help people use, or learn, or convert to Fedora. Someone like 
that would probably be glad to help you do whatever seems the best combination 
of security and capabilities, so that you can run your application with minimum 
security risk.

It's likely that someone would be glad to help in a case like this, if the 
application will run under CentOS, then that's a short term solution. The long 
term solution is to install a recent Fedora and run FC4 in a virtual machine. 
That allows future use and the more recent distribution can host, provide 
security, do firewalling, etc.

Hum, sounds like the Highway Patrol, "To serve and protect," mail and FC4 
respectively. ;-)

The really old stuff is at 
http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/core/
But it is unsupported, and possibly contains unfixed and exploitable 
security holes that have been discovered since support ended.

Consider an Redhat Enterprise 5 or the free CentOS 5.  These based on 
Fedora 5/6 but receive important security backports and conservative

You may have to go through a lot of them to find specific releases.

Just remember, they are no longer supported.
