As to price, if you have broadband internet access (or know someone who 
does) you can download most distros for free -- including Fedora. 
Needless to say, don't try it with dial-up.  Check out distrowatch.com 
for links.

One other thing I could/should have mentioned -- POV-Ray for Linux is 
command-line only, no GUI interface.  Not difficult to use, but less 
convenient than the Windows version.  And it is easy to install, just 
run the install script (as root) and you're done.
