If you're moving on from FC you may as well take a plunge and go for something more advanced like Debian or Slackware.
Debian not recognizing your harddrive? That I don't understand. What makes you think it doesn't recognize it?
You could consider Slackware. Or even something different like FreeBSD.

Well it freezes at the screen where it is "detecting ATA" or something like that. Suse won't either ... is it Debian-based ?

Nope....... (IIRC it uses RPMs)
Maybe there's a problem with the harddrive (a problem that might explain why FC is fucking up).

Any ideas ?

Is that one of the Hitachi Deathstars?
SuSE actually managed to install itself on some dieing HD that I had that no other OS would load on it, it took around 3 hours to install on the HD and it took around 1 hour to boot:D. What is your system Aloone? Fedora ran pretty fast on my A64 and ran decently on my ancient Athlon

I dunno, it might be ... it came with a $ony laptop ... I just checked the original documentation and there is no word on what kind of HDD it is ... just Hitachi.
What are the symptoms of a hard-drive problem ?
