Re: How to know about System Configuration??
since Fedora is redhat based, most of the configuration can be found in the /etc/sysconfig directory.
Also check some documentation you can find here :

good luck,
Regards Matthias

Re: How to know about System Configuration??
To get the right answer you need to ask a more specific question. "System configuration" is not very specific.

Re: How to know about System Configuration??
You can get a lot of information by looking at the output of dmesg. It will take a bit of effort to extract the data you want though...
Cheers,
Rob

Re: How to know about System Configuration??
I would say you are pretty bleeding-edge.
Afaik, Fedora 7 is current while 8 should be released somewhere late in fall.
I wouldn't recommend a prerelease candidate for someone who doesn't yet know where to find configuration files and how to query the hardware inventory.
For disks you can run (as root) "fdisk -l"
This will show you how your disks are partitioned and if there are still unused blocks.
It also depends how you are using your disks.
I think these days the Fedora distros set up LVM volumes even for guided installations.
So you should also get acquainted with the LVM commands pvscan, vgscan, lvscan, vgdisplay, lvdisplay (those to just view the usage and config).
As for RAM you can
# less /proc/meminfo
Swap
# swapon -s
CPU
# less /proc/cpuinfo
If you have configured any MD devices
(but I doubt) you can run
# mdadm -QDs
For PCI devices run lspci
similarily for USB lsusb
As said, RH (derived) distros have most of their config files beneath /etc/sysconfig
