Backup your data and install CentOS - it has a much longer support span,
and being cli only - you don't need the fancy graphical apps of a Fedora
release.
Install CentOS 5.1 and you can leave it alone for a very long time, it
will take care of updates for years.
Given that you only want cli stuff - unless you are on dialup I'd
recommend just downloading the CentOS 5.1 boot.iso and do a http
install, so you don't have to download several gigs worth of bits on a
DVD iso that you'll never use.
If you are on dialup, find someone nice to send you the DVD (or CD set).
Great, thanks you guys. Dumb question: this would be a destructive
"upgrade," right - meaning I would have to dump my data somewhere
temporarily, install CentOS, and then re-import my data into a brand new
filesystem/partition? Sorry, this is probably super-basic...
