Extracted from the wiki should get you started. Though a personal note, 
the testing versions are rough. The name rawhide, which it is called is 
appropriate. You probably should stick the released versions until you 
get more familiar with Linux. If you dare, expect a lot of learning.

Online Distributors

Anyone may distribute Fedora online, and there are several ways to help. 
If you have large pipes, you can provide a public mirror. To get 
started, see the bottom of the [WWW] mirror list. If you have only a 
consumer broadband connection, you might consider joining the [WWW] torrent.
