1. If you have a Windows machine with CD-writing software, it probably has the ability to take that ISO image and put it right on a CD. For Roxio EasyCD Creator 5, it's the "Record CD from CD image" selection under the 'File' menu.
2. Fedora is nothing more than a public beta. Having challenges with a beta is to be expected. Besides, it upgrades every 6 months, and you are encouraged to upgrade in that cycle - not a good thing in a production environment. Note that Novell SuSE Linux is in the same situation.

If you want the production freebie, look at the Red Hat EL clones - WhiteBoxLinux, TaoLinux and CentOS.
