Looking to meet new folks... and to find some help. I want to learn Linux. A friend installed Fedora on my old laptop and it was running fine, except that I know it's got all kinds of potential for awesome stuff, plus I had no idea how to do any of my own tech support. Then some bizarre thing happened when I went to upgrade to Fedora 15, and it's now dead. Anyone up for mentoring a newbie?</div>
