I still have an Fedora 7 system, not because one version is problematic 
over another but because I downloaded the image and never burned a DVD 
for the other computer yet.

I do now have a problem with the Fedora 7 computer where nmd or some 
other factor related to names for the server to connect is busted but I 
can still use the ip. The speed for transfers is faster than the windows 
server for the same task, so I'll wait for a fix once I get the DVD 
burned for an upgrade or just wait until Fedora 9 is released.

Basically, if one version works for you and is still supported with 
updates, there is no great reason to rush for an upgrade in version. If 
Fedora 7 works best for you, you have awhile before it becomes 
unsupported. Fedora 9 is not yet in the alpha phase so time is not critical.

Regarding finances, I'm far from rich.
