Couple of questions (newbi)

Hi there, 

As mentioned in the meeting last Monday I have installed a Fedora workstation to work with. 
Having been severely out of practice I had to consult the documentation to create an install USB. 
I chose the USB, for I had that at hand, unlike burnable CDs. 

In de Fedora manual I found two steps that for me, as a beginner, did not answer all of my questions. 
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/21/html/Installation_Guide/sect-preparing-boot-media.html 
Procedure 3.5. Creating USB Media on the Linux command line 

I then switched to the RHEL 7 guide. Though actually saying the same it had some extra phrases in there that I found helpful 
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Installation_Guide/sect-making-usb-media.html 
Procedure 2.1. Making USB Media on Linux 

Missing in both, but could be handy to know? 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB 
" System Requirements USB stick 
A USB flash drive, also known as USB stick, thumb drive, pen drive, or jump drive. For most Fedora live images, you will need at least 1 GB or more of storage space. For the network install image, 400 MB or more should be sufficient. For a DVD image, you should have at least 4.7 GB." 

The installation itself was rather self explanatory, with the system prompting for the right information. 

Next step would be to install the most used tools to work with. 
I have installed yum group Authoring and Publishing. Which of the programs in here can I use for writing or editing? 

I also looked at: 
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Contributor_Documentation/1/html/Users_Guide/chap-Users_Guide-Installing_Publican.html 
I did run the install, but when I now use publican -- help it does not give me anything. 
The man pages do work by the way. 
As I understand this, I would only use this for publishing pages into git? 

I have once more included my gpg code. Will I need one of you to have this validated for use? 

Thanks for your help!
