1. whats the difference between DSL and Fedora?
Just off of the top of my head
a. "Minimal" install of Fedora (FC) is about 900MB, DSL is 50MB or less
b. FC CD's are not a "live" CD (rescue sorta-is)
c. DSL runs on MUCH better on older hardware than FC

a small guide to the FTP client in DSL
a guide to the email client

a. "man ftp"
b. "man THENAME-of-YOUR-EMAIL-CLIENT" likely
both have many choices: gui ftp or non-gui (eg ftp, ncftp, gftp etc)
