I haven't even bothered to look at how big Fedora 7 is. A single CD is a huge problem to download when you're on dialup. A DVD is unthinkable.
As far as I know, all of the major distros do have 'network' install capabilities. So I suppose I could put a cheap network car in this machine and possibly install from another machine with a DVD drive. Even that might be more trouble than it's worth. Puppy Linux might be just the thing to make this machine usable for a few more years as a 'backup'. Every thing I currently own is quickly becoming obsolete as the PCI-X bus and multi-core CPUs spread. Looks like it'll be time to buy a new multi-core machine soon. Then I can run SUSE with its default multi-processor enabled kernel.
