Best thing for you to do is go to the Redhat/Fedora site, download the FC ISO images, burn them to CD, and install Fedora just like you would install Windows. Boot from CD, follow the instructions, and accept the defaults wherever possible.
Redhat has plenty of documentation on their site for installing their distribution. It's fairly painless. I would suggest you install a GUI (KDE or Gnome) as well, and use the GUI text editors to edit text files; VI is about as steep a learning curve there is.

Hello,
I am just starting to research Asterisk and I would like to install it on a PC to try out. I have looked around quite a bit but I haven't found much information on the Linux part. I know you need to put Linux on the PC first but what version or flavor of Linux do you recommend? I contacted Red Hat and they had not heard of Asterisk and they said Asterisk is not certified for Red Hat. Are there any Linux installation instructions that you would recommend? If there are any other getting started suggestions, I sure would appreciate it.
Thanks,
