Hi Rajev.

I am a busines man and not a computer professional. I moved to linux 
(FC3) back in Oct. 2004. This mailing list was my #1 best place for me 
to learn. I agree with what has been posted. Be VERY clear in what you 
are trying to do and what you see on the screen and people here will 
guide you and be helpful. I was very pleased. And yes the first time 
someone told me to use YUM I was like 'what does that mean' you have to 
read and read and not be scared to type into a command line from time to 
time and you will learn and grow.
have you looked at:
www.ferodorafaq.org
I found this site was helpful in getting started.
Have you installed FC3 yet?
http://www.fedora.us/ another good place for general reading.

Also ... I think using Fedora as your first install is a great choice 
due to all of the support and the ease of installation.

I remember that I posted here with what type of machine I was going to 
install on and that I was going to format the HD and I have 3 or 4 
people recommend how big to make my swap and stuff.. and I took it all 
in.. and made my personal decision. Great help.
With all of that said.. it took me 2 solid weeks to get everything up 
and running exactly how I wanted it... how I am happy and NEVER use my 
windows box.. - (except to sync my ipod)
