One of the strengths of Debian stable (which at the moment is etch) for Linux newbies is that everything works, yet it isn't made too easy like Ubuntu, which you can easily run without learning anything. This is a good thing for many new users, who aren't interested in building software, but wouldn't be the best as a springboard for running a custom server.
Yeah, I agree. FC isn't for linux newbs, though it's better than it used to be. I too have used most linux distros at one time or other since somewhere in the mid-90's. yum is excellent for getting your packages installed and working out the dependencies.
