That suggests that somehow after installing Fedora 9 (the current
stable release) you enabled the development software repository and
updated to the current development (rawhide) version - I really don't
think you wanted to do this if you're new to linux, this is only
suitable for developers and testers. You should really consider
reinstalling Fedora 9 and not enabling the development repositories.
