I used the Update program and updated to the newest Kernel 2.6.X (I forgot the number at the moment) now when I boot up I see two Fedora 2 OS's. Should I leave it alone or should I delete the old one?

that is completely normal, as your old kernel is still bootable.

if you are not spatially constrained on your HDD partition, i would leave the old kernel in tact. it may come in handy. for instance, i have RH9 on one of my work machines, and i need to run openAFS. i had a bugger of a time getting it to compile, and was not about to do it again when i updated to a newer kernel. sicne i don't need to run AFS all the time, i only boot into the old kernel when i absolutely need to.

any way...long story short {too late!} : linux kernels don't take up much space, so i personally leave the last one behind.

It's always a good idea to keep a couple kernels on a box... If something happens, and the modules or something messes up for one kernel, and you can't boot it, you should still be able to boot the other.

Thanks for the replies. I will keep it. When I ultimately decide to rid myself of Windows completely (still a little hesitant) how can I use the Windows hard drive( I am dual booting with a seperate drive)? Should I just format it with Linux and will I be able to switch between them?

Yes, you can either format it and mount it as an ext2 system (say, as /usr2), or you can leave as is and mount it as a NTFS. Either way, you can save files onto the other hard drive.
