I have done this once, this is a situation you will want to avoid at all 
cost and not one you want to do twice.

Anyway, Alfresco has a module called vti, which provides sharepoint 
compatibility, so that the client doesn't know it is really talking to 
Alfresco.

To setup this envorinment you can use my tutorial, it is a quick setup

It is quite easy and straight forward, this should be the same for 
Fedora, unless you want to recompile from source
