Ahah!  I finally figured out what you mean by "noobii."  I was thinking 
it was some odd acronym or maybe a word in some language I've never 
seen before.  It wasn't until I happened to sound it out that it hit 
me: you mean "newbie"

So if a "newbie" is a person that is very inexperienced with something 
(usually computer or internet related), then maybe a "noobii" is just 
somebody who mis-spells "newbie"?

Unless you're Romanian, it seems.  Most of the sites that google 
returns in a search for "noobii" seem to be Romanian...

Anyway, in answer to your question, Fedora is indeed a good 
distribution for a Newbie.  It's not going to be as easy to use as a 
Xandros, MEPIS, or Ubunto  (probably) but there are a LOT more people 
that could help you with Fedora than any of the latter.  And in my 
experience from back when I was a newbie, using an OS with a lot of 
local people that can help you when you get in a jam ('cause you will 
get in a jam) is far better than using one that's slightly more "user 
friendly" but lacks local support.  That's one of the reasons I went 
with Linux back in the day instead of FreeBSD... but that's way besides 
the point.
