I want to install Fedora 7, and even downloaded bittorrent in order to download it, but there are a bunch of different versions, and I can't tell which one I'm supposed to download.
I have an HP, and it has an Athalon 2500+ But from there, I can't tell which versions of Fedora 7 is the one I want to download.
What I'm talking about is right here:

The live CDs will boot from the CD drive in your computer and start the OS without installing anything onto your hard drive. The other torrent files are for installation disks that will install Fedora to your hard disk (you will erase everything on your hard drive if you don't know what you are doing - so back-up anything you want to keep). You also have to decide if you want the 32 bit or 64 bit version of the OS. Your computer should be able to handle either one, I think the Athlon 2500+ has 64 bit support - you should double check to make sure. Anyway I would download verison 7. It is the latest stable version. Version 8 is still being developed and should not be used on your main system.

I hope this helps. =)

I'm not familiar with AMD processor, just download any 32-bit version of it will work fine. Anything with "Live" that means you run from CD itself, no need to install into your HDD. Any 64 number in the title are for 64-bit CPU like Core2Duo etc, QuadCore...
DL this:
Fedora-7-KDE-Live-i686.torrent or
Fedora-7-Live-i686.torrent
By the way go to ubuntu.com to request free CD (Linux) sent to your home. I got 3 CDs

First, go to this URL for the software download.
http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora.html
To load the operating system, you'll need to download the ISO files and burn an ISO CD or DVD image using a tool like Nero Burning Rom and boot your computer using this CD or DVD.
If using VMware, you could just download the ISO image(s) and set the CD-Rom (IDE 1:0) to the ISO file on your PC.

Get the i386 version for 32 bit CPUs.

Odds are, you want the i386 version. The i386 is for 32 bit processors. The x86_64 is for 64bit processors (but i386 should work on those, too) The ppc one is for a powerPC (mac).
