[PlanetCCRMA] Fedora 7 better than 8 for Planet/Linux Newbie? ISO respins for 7?

[Roy Vestal]

Chuck,
 Check the mirror list for a mirror near you! You should see the "Mirror 
list filter" in the upper left hand corner:

http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/8/

FWIW:
I down loaded, the Fedora 7 KDE Live CD (I prefer KDE over Gnome) and 
just installed that to my hard drive. Then ran "yum update" from the 
command line to get updated. Then I simply followed the directions on 
Planet CCRMA to install my apps.  :)

You can do that with either the Fedora 7 Live CD (Gnome desktop), or the 
Fedora 7 KDE Live CD (KDE desktop).
