OT - which distro?

[dogscoff]

OIC.

How big is this killer Fedora7 download? Couldn't you order the DVD, get a friend with a more modern machine to transfer the installer from DVD to a huge USB flash drive or external hard drive? Might set you back a few $$$ for a stick that size or a hard dive, but it would be something you could get good use out of afterwards, even when you get a new PC.

Alternately, would it be possible to take your PC to a friend's house/ local friendly PC shop and transfer the DVD across a network?

I'd be happy to nip round with my laptop so we could transfer the files by ethernet. Just supply the return flight tickets to Ohio and I'll be right over=-)
