Geek alert - Fedora is a version of linux.

Why does anyone buy Windows? Having just downloaded and installed Fedora, it's bloody brilliant! It's got everything a 'normal' computer user might need included - including an excellent fully featured 'office' suite (word processor, spreadsheet, etc) - and it's dead easy to install!

The fun comes when you start to try and set it up anyway from a 'standard' install. So far I've managed to break apache (the webserver that comes with it) several times - it doesn't seem to want to do what it should config-wise, tho I'm hoping that the problems are being caused by the 'user friendly' (huh!) graphical config tool. So when I've un-installed it again and re-installed it (to put it back to default config), I'll be editing the apache config file by hand and hoping that does the trick.
