>From what I've heard from several Linux users, the previous version of redhat, shrike, wasn't very good. I don't know why they'd say that, but what would be the advantages of going to Fedora, as far as packages and stability?

Shrike is actually the previous version of Red Hat. The current version is Fedora and has many updates including gnome 2.4, gnopernicus, as well as many other packages. You might want to hold off your install until you grab Fedora.

I have downloaded the three Shrike iso images and have burned each image to a CDR. When I boot up my laptop with CD 1 in the CD-ROM drive, the CD spins up, but as far as I can ascertain the Linux boot screen does not appear. Instead, my computer boots right up into Windows. My guess is that the BIOS needs to be set, but I'm not entirely certain if this is the case. If anyone has any thoughts, I'd appreciate them. My apologies if this has been brought up on this list before. If this is the case, feel free to reply to me privately. Thanks, Steve Stephen Clower, that guy from the south.
