Have you thought about using virtualization to run another Linux simply
using free space on your existing Fedora 8 system?  I did this recently
with CentOS (and Windows XP for kicks) and it works just fine.  Now, I
do have a 64-bit Intel C2D processor, but my understanding is that you
can get very respectable results, especially for Linux guest machines,
under most 32-bit and 64-bit workstations.
