I see from your post after this one that you don't have a DVD drive. But 
if you want to invest in one, I would take the offer to have a copy of 
the fedora 7 DVD. I have been running fedora 7 for a long time and am 
very happy with it. I have been very skeptical of anything past fedora 7 
(but that's from the perspective of someone that's focused on audio 
recording and Planet CCRMA (audio distribution built on top of fedora)). 
I installed fedora 9 once and went right back to fedora 7.

You could probably do well with just fedora 7 (no upgrade) but you can 
certainly try the upgrade also. But as I say... I'm skeptical of 
anything beyond fedora 7.

As far as fedora 2... there probably isn't a URL. I'm sure fedora 2 is 
just not supported anymore (they're at 10 now).

Whichever version you install, make sure that after the install you run 
(as root)...
yum upgrade
