Fedora/Redhat

Windows XP will always remain my primary OS. I'm curious to see what the Linux Fedora OS looks like so I downloaded it yesterday. the problem is "finding it". I've never had this problem before. i had to use the Torrent download program to download a Linux based OS. The program is it's 1.3GB in size and it was shown as "finished" downloading in the Torrent dialog box. I closed that program and went to my desktop, which is where i download all programs to, but it wasn't there. I searched everywhere for it. I CAN'T FIND IT! I checked my hard drive size and it's definetly 1.3GB larger than before the download so Fedora must be in there someplace.
Anyone have an idea where I can look to find it? this is the first, and hopefully, the last time this will happen.
Thanks, Jim

hahaha. Have you tried start>find>files and folders ? Search for 'fedora' or just '.iso'.

You know you can download the cd's from an ftp/http server right?

XP has a search utility, just as every other version of windows does. When you bring up the start menu in XP, it'll be right there, very visible.

I don't mean to sound rude, but if you can't find a file you downloaded in windows, linux probably is not for you.

Yeah he's right. What you shoulda done is download the iso's from Fedora's website.
