Dr. Bombay, that may be a tough one. There are definately some unusual problems with some of the Fedora Core distributions, especially with kernal 2.6. I'm definately not a guru, but that would be an RPM. Red Hat Package Manager type.

Xandros is Debian, but I have also installed LimeWire on PCLinuxOS which a hybred system using apt (debian) and Mandrake (rpm) I know there are folks here that can help you out, but unfortunately I am not the one.

If you would want to try a great free distribution with some of the latest, you can download PCLinuxOS. The latest is a installable "liveCD" version which is beautiful and powerful. It uses "diskdrake" for the installer which is included on the cd and has LimeWire installed by default along with other great packages including an office suite, cd burner, (k3b), email client and several browsers. You can also download the 2.6 kernal if you want to be on the bleeding edge and it is not as quirky as some other distros.

Sorry I can't help more.
