Fedora is certainly usable by home users.  My wife and children use
Fedora and I have had to provide them no support over the past several
releases, other than upgrading the system when the new release came
out.

If your computer is only a few years old, I would really recommend
starting with the latest Fedora, which is Fedora 13.
