Novice questions for Fedora installation.

Hello, Firstly I would like to say that Linux is very cool, especially the CLI. I have been trying to learn how to do some things in Fedora after being told Fedora was a good distro to get my feet wet. I have run into some issues and cant seem to find any answers. Could someone please help?
