I had trouble getting to F7. I really didn't want to but it seemed
the timing was right for it. After over 200 updates F7 is good working
Linux. The first thing a new user needs to do is remove Totem and get
the VLC media player. It has worked just fine through all the 200
upgrades and plays anything from mp3 to .wav to DVD movies. It does it
all. I get things from friends with Windows. VLC never fails to play
them.

There is still some minor things broken but they might be due to MY
hardware which is old. New computer is scheduled to be delivered today
by UPS but they deliver very late, like 10:30 PM local. Then I will
see if the new motherboard and SATA hard drives fix the problems.

A friend just loaded F7 again after getting the 200 updates and he
says it is nothing like it was 3 months ago.

Sounds good. But where is it? I have been looking around for a FC 7 iso
DVD, but all sites stop at /6 and then they list /development - is this
fc7? Is the iso DVD hidden within the .bittorrent, which I am absolutely
new to? I've never used bittorrent, I have never needed to. As I
understand I have to download a torrent client, as a search tool(?) - is
that up the same alley as FTP? Pardon my ignorance, but i have lots to do
and I must operate on a need to know basis. How do I extract the contents
of a torrent file, is that something the torrent client program takes care
of?

You can get it from here:
http://iso.linuxquestions.org/version.php?version=449

I believe there are respins available for F7, which should have most updates
included, but don't know the URL for those.
