Thinking back to installing RHL 4.2 and Slackware before that and Minux 
before that, Fedora is a very easy to install product.

As you reference products that you think are easy to handle and 
configure, they should be your starter installations. When you 
successfully learn these easy for the general user installations, Fedora 
will be easy to use also. Like anything, you want it as capable as 
possible and as easy to configure as possible.
Regarding DVD or CD live distros, they should be available shortly with 
the more capable Live CD creation programs. You might want to do a 
search on Live CDs for Fedora or ask on the Fedora-list for a wider 
group of people to pick their minds.

Along the lines of your topic, there should probably be a list for New 
to Fedora but it is as easy to monitor the forums or lists and pick up 
on topics that way. the lists have helped me learn a lot about programs 
and better methods to accomplish tasks than was possible before going 
onto the lists.
Meanwhile, the Fedora List seems the best place to go. But if you want 
the official forum, go to the forum for Fedora.

Just a few comments for guidance to the better place to find 
information. This list is for testing rpms in updates-testing and mainly 
the development (Rawhide) continuous distribution.
