I've never been able to get a Fedora distribution working on my computer,
and they all stall during the first boot process after install [flag don't
fix the problem either].

Point your browser to www.ubuntulinux.org and give Ubuntu linux a try.
Similar intended userbase, IMHO, but you'll be amazed at how easy the
installer is. And since its based on Debian, you get easy access to
Debian packages [and compatability] and apt-get.
