Using fedora you can run the following command as root to install it: yum install subversion Let me know what problems you are having and I can help get you though the install. I do not have Fedora Core 6 installed anymore due to my hard drive going dead on me, but I do have Ubuntu Feisty Fawn working flawlessly with sleep, wireless, synaptics touchpad, volume + brightness + eject keys, and the ati drivers. I have also installed a triple boot this time with OSX, Linux, and Windows. I am in the middle of doing a post for this setup, but I have been pretty busy lately. Check back in a week or so to see if I have finished that up. James,

Once I get that repaired I will reinstall Linux and update this post with any new information I find. Anyways, I would definitely get a Mac. You can run Windows, Linux, and OSX all on one machine. I dual boot Linux and OSX, then run Windows XP in a Parallels Desktop virtual machine. Thanks for the new link. -Matt Unfortunately my hard drive just died and I need to get a new one.
