[Dxspider-support] Fedora - newbie warning

[hank k8dd]

I echo what Steve said ......
Windows is very easy go get up and running - both RF and telnet.
Linux isn't all that bad - just a different way of thinking!
And not wanting to start a Linux debate, but got my node working
with an old version of SuSe a couple of years ago and it's been
like a Timex ....... keeps on ticking!
