Subject: Linux Fedora distribution download from ibiblio


Fedora was recommended and as free download from ibiblio.

Using Lynx I've surfed to:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/fedora/linux/core/

Index of /pub/linux/distributions/fedora/linux/core

                                         Index of /pub/linux/distributions/fedora/linux/core

     Apache/2.0.46 (Red Hat) Server at distro.ibiblio.org Port 80


These ISO's have the latest dates and smaller file sizes. I assume I download a series of ISO's and burn them to CD. 
Which group in the above list do I download?

Or should I just spring for a copy of Red Hat?

Thanks for any assistance.

Happy New Year,

Lawrence
