I am however willing to help anybody with it. I run FC2 on my laptop and will shortly be upgrading to FC4 dualbooting with Ubuntu.. At work, we have used RH 7.3-9.0 in the past but are slowly migrating to Debian Sarge. (2.6 kernel.) I echo JT's comments about distros and kernel versions. Nothing to add, except I use apt-get on Fedora and RH to get later versions of the kernel. (You want to do this or "yum" to keep up-to-date with security fixes.) The apt and yum repositories for Fedora are compiled for that version of your distro. FC4 is the latest stable release. If d/l get it via bittorrent if possible. If possible get the DVD. Someone at this Sat's CWE-LUG mtg will probably be able to burn the CDs or DVD for you ahead of time if you ask on this list. I can probably get Robert to duplicate my DVD for you Sat if his machine isn't busy doing other stuff. BYODVD-R Ed -- Ed Howland WDT Solutions, LLC.
