Robbie,

Rather than get sucked into a distro religion discussion, here's what
you were asking for:

http://www.xastir.org/wiki/index.php/HowTo:Fedora

Step by step, with links, instructions and even the commands you can
copy and past into your own console to get an almost full featured
Xastir install up and running on FC5.

If you have questions - please ask and enjoy!
