ACER Travelmate 4011WLMi laptop: Which Version Do I Install

[r557]

System:

I have an ACER Travelmate 4011WLMi laptop that i would like to remove winxp off of and replace with Fedora 7.

The system has:
Intel Pentium M 725 Processor (1.6 GHz, 400 MHz FSB, 2 MB L2 cache)
512MB DDR
802.11b/g wireless LAN

It current is partitioned into a c: & d: drive, with the d: drive having only a MSOCache folder.

Download?
Which version do i download? When i go to http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/ i am presented with several different versions that i'm unsure of to download. I will run Fedora as a desktop/development system (LAMP), so it will not be a dedicated server or anything.

you dont have a dual core or 64bit processor so you need Fedora-7-i386.torrent
also if you have a wireless switch it may not work in f7
personally id keep xp as well untill you know everything works
shrink xp with partion magic or something and install f7 to free space is what i would do

Thanks a Bunch. Does the Drive i install on need to be formatted as FAT32 or NTFS?

you dont need to format anything or make partitions let fedora do it fo you by default

oh, so fedora will create a partition for itself now?

yes it gives you the option to install in free space
or use the whole drive
or just install in already linux partitions
or you can make your own partions up
