Besides looking at the links Mr. Leutwyler posted, especially the FAQ, I have some suggestions for you. Is this your first experience with Linux? The graphical installation is very good. Just take your time, and read the notes in the left pane as you work through the graphical installation. If this *is* your first time, I might suggest that you let the installer automatically partition the drive for you. It will give you the option of removing existing partitions: choose that, and you don't have to reformat it yourself to get rid of Windows. You have several options for the "type" of installation you want, e.g. "desktop" or "server." All my experience is with the "server" type. You may want to do a "desktop" type of installation; I don't know. What I *do* know is that with FC3 you get the option to install XFCE, and I would encourage you to install it -- along with KDE and Gnome, if you want those -- because you might find that it works better on older machines such as what you describe. I use XFCE as my desktop environment on a PII 333 Mhz and like it. If you choose to install multiple desktop environments, then you can choose which to log in to and experience them all. XFCE is a much "lighter" desktop, which means that it will possibly run better than KDE or Gnome on your hardware. Good luck!
