Fedora core - beginner user?

[firthy15]

Hi, im just getting into linux and i am starting to use it at uni on my course.

I'd like to use the same distro at home / uni rather than going for something "easier" like ubuntu, which everyone recomends for beginners

Is there actually must difficulty installing something like fedora core 5?

i saw no diffculty in using it at university but maybe the installing is a tad harder?

*edit - sorry edited to make more sense

Thanks for the advice
