So, how do you install new software? Download it from
the mirror and install with rpm? I thought the
advantage as FC was that it was almost equally as huge
Debian in terms of packages and community and so
(unlike SuSE, Mandrake etc) you could find your
package easily and install it. How do you install
stuff if you don't have the disk and what would I lose
by not having the disks?

Yep.

Sadly I can't make it this Wednesday (future
Wednesdays are debatable for the next month or so) as
my band can only get a rehearsal room on Wednesday
nights at the mo. I can just download them to be
honest, it just means I'll be less inclined to get
round to it...
