That might be a solution you can live with. KarlI'll take a look at Fedora 8. Is it essentially the last Fedora progression before the big Fedora 9 (analogy XP to Vista like) change?
From what Rick said, I would suggest this is the case.
It's just a real bitch to keep up with all this, especially with all life's distractions. (I just got a new backhoe). Thanks for all the replies..this list has a great bunch of contributors.
Might I suggest taking a look at Linux Mint, which is a very solid distribution, other than being based on the Debian tree, and even more like Ubuntu. It uses the Ubuntu repositories, but doesn't maintain the 'only free; only open-source' policy of Ubuntu.
I also like very much PCLinuxOS, which is a redhat derivative, except v2008 isn't out yet, so it's not as compatible with newer hardware as Mint is. That will change once PCLOS2008 is released (no idea or news when).

It's a good day.
