Our company (VitalStream) was acquired by Internap Systems in April.
I guess we're growing up!

It's just F7 ("Fedora 7").  They dropped the "Core" bit from the name.

Yes, you can install from a thumbdrive if you want.  Your BIOS must
support booting from USB disks, however, and not all do.

I have both an 8GB and a 16GB thumbdrive I've used and they work fine.
I also bought a USB-based DVD/RW drive for $40 that works a treat.  I
recommend you get one of those.
