Or, run Docker with a Fedora container.

Add EPEL, and then:

  sudo yum install docker-io
  sudo service docker start
  sudo docker run -i -t fedora /bin/bash

There are some already-existing docker recipies built automatically -- see
the list at  <https://github.com/fedora-cloud/Fedora-Dockerfiles> and then
try, for example:

   docker run -d -p 80:80 fedora/apache

and presto, apache running on port 80.
