Should I go for Fedora 6.0 or 7.0 ?? Either, they appear to be much the same size for minimal environments and 7 will be maintained for longer. If you do an FC6 or 7 install and turn off every category of software offered you get a fairly sane basic install. You can then add back X11 and a small desktop if you want (eg Xfce and claws-mail)
