Hello:  Welcome to the list, this is a great list with a lot of smart
people.  You might try looking through the list archives for terms
like 'newb' or 'newbie' or 'installation' .  There is a lot of the
same ground that we go over with people, not that people aren't
willing to help, but fyi since seeing the posts will teach you a heck
of a lot.

Good news:  you installed FC1 successfully!  That's great!  Personally
I don't normally do updates across versions, because I like to get a
fresh 'clean' install at the baseline of the FCx number each release
time, but that is just my personal preference.  If you really want to
go FC1 to FC3, I am sure someone on this list will likely help you
with that.  In my opinion it is just a heck of a lot easier to do a
fresh install.  The installation process alone will teach you a
zillion things; in my opinion it is really worth it to reinstall for
that reason alone.

Google a lot.  In fact, try www.google.com/linux for your searches as
you already have much ot the territory cut down for you.   Redhat.com
has a TON of guides to all sorts of topics - you should be able to
find docs, howto papers, etc. as you go forth.  A lot of them are
advanced but there is some good introductory material if you look
around enough.  Linuxmigration.com has some good introductory info
<along with pictures> which I found very useful.  Also
linuxhomenetworking.com is another good one.  You will find more in
the archives.  Hopefully that will keep you busy for awhile.

Hope that helps
Marc
