Best variant of Fedora for a Virtual Machine...?

[And Kemp]

Hi Joe,

Thanks for the suggestion.  I'm currently installing the DVD release of 
Fedora, so hopefully will be exposed to all IDEs.  I can use the GUI to 
browse and copy files, but since I'm trying to prepare for Linux 
certification I'm trying to do everything via the keyboard (it's 
certainly an eye opener for some things!).  I intend to look at Xfce at 
my earliest opportunity, since I am becoming a little KDE'd out!

Best wishes,

And.
