Mandrake and Fedora

I currently have my computer running a dual boot system, Mandrake 9.2 and Windows XP. I want to install Fedora and I want to know if I need to do anything to my lilo or repartition my HD. I use Partition Magic from Windows XP.
Any person who has had experience with Fedora, is it ok? Is it better?

Thumbs down
I used to have Fedora Core 1. It was kind of slow and buggy. I disliked it and immediately switched to Debian, which I love.
I use Partition Magic too. I love their BootMagic bootloader.
If you must have a RH distro, get an older one (9 and before) or get their Enterprise Linux (worst-case scenario). But I would highly recommend just choosing something different. Stick with Mandrake, maybe. Fedora's not better.
