As an alternative the the (seemingly) headaches the Op is getting - May
I suggest working with Ubuntu first.

If the Op is/was a Windows user, and has little to no working mileage
with any Linux - then Ubuntu is the perfect stepping-stone into the
world of Unix and unix-like OS's.

The Op should get a workable install from the git-go, and with very
little time the Op will have out-grown the Window-ish ways of Ubuntu
and had a decent basic grasp of Linux in general.

F7 isn't for the Linux-first-timer. It has it's "quirks" that can
discourage the Linux first timer.

This is just a suggestion - I came into Linux that way and have not
regretted it. I spend just 3 months under Ubuntu before I felt ready to
move on to a more serious OS. One that I felt I could tinker with and
grow.
