After all, fedora is not the only gnu/linux distribution out there. There are also: slackware: , debian: , gentoo: just to name a few. The best thing of course would be if a fedora user was able to help you solve your problems, and get up and running. However, if that doesn't happen, look at other distributions before deciding to quit on gnu/linux. The good news is that there are slackware, debian, and gentoo users on here as well.
