Fedora - A confiusing operating system!!

I don't know why all these complicated stuff?!
I have Fedora Core 3 installed on my Laptop. It has the apache 2.0 + php 4.3.0 installed on it. But for some reasons I need to remove them and install everything by myself.
However, I don't see any way to remove a software from this silly oprating system!!
Moreover, I installed a newer apache and it worked for the first time that I started it. After a reboot, when I wanted to start it again, it said: cannot access port 80 and something like that!!! One more problem was when I tried to install php and after configure I tried to run "make" command. At the end it said there are errors!! Smilie

Why all these happening? Can anyone help me with this issue? hoffff Smilie

im using fedora core 3 since last december
im happy with it.
though installation of some plugins might be difficult,
its because fedora core is a pure OPEN source OS,
where some licenses like mp3 are not included but can be available from different resources
in my blog i simplified some stuffs,

its not like suse or mandrake where its spoonfeeding

Oh guys, thank you all for the links.
In fact, I worked on Redhat since version 7.0 and I was happy with version 9.0, I installed fedora core 3 after that but it is very difficult to deal with I don't undrestand why is that! I have had really hard time to install some server related stuff and at the end I just decided to go back to redhat 9.0...

it cld be hard, but thats the best way to learn.
my girlfriend just installed suse at her father's place,
since she is using FC3 and not a computer geek, i saw that she has a better understanding while she was explaingin stuffs to her parents
