I have Drupal 7.2, the latest version, working very well in Fedora 14.
May I suggest downloading Drupal 7.2.tar.gz  into /Downloads, extract it into a folder that will have the same name as teh archive, sudo cp that folder to /var/www/html/ -note the following / so it doesn't overwrite anything in /var/www/html

In Firefox do 127.0.0.1/drupal7folder and if you have the database set up it should start the install
