Again FWIK, Fedora should use Gnome as default, so you can configure the file browser (Nautilus) to use "single click to open items" (from the Gnome panel, System -> Preferences -> File Management -> Behaviour), and you can change mouse orientation (left handed mouse) via mouse preferences (System -> Preferences -> Mouse). I don't know which Gnome version is shipped with Fedora 8, I'm using the latest stable with Debian, so menu items could be slightly different... -- Andrea
