Erm I've been using ubuntu recently but would like to use fedora, but am not sure how to install, is it best to use live cd, or the dvd installmedium?
Either one should work, the DVD route is nice because all of the packages are right there. LiveCD can require that you install a lot of stuff over your Internet connection.
Also how can I have a seperate home directory? the LVM section in the partitioning menu scared me off, I still have the live cd downloaded, but not the dvd, shall I just download that instead?
You'll be faced with the same choices via LiveCD install or DVD install. LVM is just a way of carving up your partitions into logical volumes (think sub-partitions, sort of).
Me personally, I don't really use LVM that much, I just create the first partition of 100 megs mounted on /boot, a second partition of about a gig mounted as swap, a third and partition of 8GB mounted as / and a fourth large-ish partition mounted as /home.
This is not the One True Partitioning Scheme by any stretch. This is only what I like to do on my workstation. For a server that is almost definitely not a good partitioning scheme.
