Quería tener Nginx en mi Fedora 23, así que manos a la obra. Entramos a la terminal y tecleamos lo siguiente:
sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install nginx
sudo systemctl enable nginx.service
sudo systemctl start nginx
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=http
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=https
sudo firewall-cmd --reload


Para determinar el estado de tu servidor web:
sudo systemctl status nginx


Sale por pantalla:
nginx.service - The nginx HTTP and reverse proxy server
