Well after the hlp I recieve from my first posts, reading up some more and getting a copy of Fedora 3 from a Linux mag here in the UK I will be installing this weekend. I am getting a new hard drive and sorting out my others so I should have a 40 gig one just for linux. I just have a couple more questions. I have downloaded the printer thing and ADSL drivers someone mentioned, extracted them and burnt the to a CD-RW. Now when I put the disc in do I just double click on the relevent file to start the install, like I do in Windows? My second question invlved DVD software. I currently use MainConcept to re-encode avi files and TMPGE to burn DVDs. Is there linux versions of these? If not can you recommend some good re-encoding and burning software?
