I have the Fedora Core installed on my PC. I would like to host a web-site from my machine.
How do I go about this? I have used Mac OSX 's Apache server before and have some experience from that, with Mac OSX I also had to allow services in System Preferences > Sharing . Is that even similar to what I will have to do w/ the Fedora Core? Please any input would help. . .
Thanks in advance ,

PS: Can anyone tell me a bit about the DNS server I saw listed when I installed Fedora. Would this feature allow me to no longer pay "Godaddy" for my hosting and to just keep the files on my Linux box? What I mean is could the domain that I buy off them be pointed at my computer? What would my Nameserver be then?
It is not in there I'll will have to install it, my Mac OS X came with apache installed and the copy of Fedora was one that came out of a very recent printing of a "Wiley" book on Fedora Core so I had thought that it would have been installed w/ it.
To see if package apache is installed:
'rpm -q apache'
To see if daemon httpd is running:
'chkconfig --list httpd'
To start daemon:
'service httpd start'
To start daemon at boot(for runlevels 3,4,5 in this case)
'chkconfig --levels 345 httpd on'
The default DNS nameserver for Fedora is called 'bind', it's daemon is called 'named'.
Neither will do much without configuration, but that's another kettle of fish.
