I have RH 8.0 mounted on a separate 35GB drive. I haven't done anything with it for some years and I want to buy (or download Fedora) but I cant unload it. I have a new computer with WXP and somehow or another when I boot the program from a disc, I can't get my mouse to work. I've jockied all over the screens with <tab>, <alt-tab> <cntrl-tab> plus the cursor keys. I keep being routed into separate files including mouse setup, but NO response!Can one of you help me.......?

There is no need to unload anything. If you do not want to keep RH, just put your install cd in the drive and install Fedora. The hdd will be formatted and your new OS will be installed

Thnx, now tell me, where can I buy Fedora? Its been several years since I was "foolin around" with Linux, so I'm a little afraid of going to the open sources. Am I wrong?? Navigator

You can buy it, or get it free, here - http://distrowatch.com/

OK, I went to distrowatch.com and see the multiple choices I have.I'm sure with your experience you can make a recommendation amongst: Debian 3.1,Fedora 5,Mandriva 2006,Slackware 10.2 and Suse 10.1. Appreciate your recommendation.!!!

Fedora 5 should be just fine for you to learn the basics...
