THE SITUATION: I have installed Mandrake 8.2 on my XP system, with dual boot. Boot magic prompts me to choose my os, which is set to xp by default.
Now i want myself indulge more into Linux, n so have downloaded the latest Fedora 5 Final, and burned it into a DVD.
The Big Question: Can i directly migrate from Mandrake to Fedora, as both are basically Linux OS.

And plz do explain your solution at length and welcome one more newbie into your FEDORA FOLD.
Thanx a lot again to everyone out there for goin thrgh this.
