Dudes,
I've installed Linux before, a few years ago now though. Now I want
Fedora and so I go to
http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora. I see 3
options with no explanation!! The website looks great, but please
provide at least a little information on the downloading page about
what the differences are between "Install Media", "Fedora Desktop Live
Media" and "Fedora KDE Live Media". I'll be conservative and get the
"Install Media" because that's what I want to do... install. But I'll
be pissed if it end up meaning I miss out on a GUI or something stupid
like that and have to download again. Meanwhile, I'll continue to hunt
around the docs for an explanation - but it would've be so much nicer
to get a 1 or 2 sentence explanation of each on the download page!!

* Fedora Desktop Live Media -- If you're looking around for a desktop
operating system and the other options don't look familiar you maybe
want this (you can install from it)
* Fedora KDE Live Media -- if you're looking for a desktop featuring
the K Desktop Environment you want this (also installable)
* Install Media -- If you just want to install, esp. having access to
a lot of packages (software) without internet access, you want this
The first two are live CDs (under 700MB each) which need not be
installed (to a hard drive) to be used.
The third is a DVD (under 4.5GB) must be installed to use, but comes
with much more software that can be installed.
Hope that clears it up a bit.
