</span>I think the confusion arises from the term "product".
I've no idea what<br>
it's supposed to mean. OTOH "spin" isn't very clear to the
newbie user<br>
either. That said, some such term to indicate typical
configurations of<br>
Fedora is a useful idea. I well remember the tedium of
installing the<br>
DVD version and wading through a seemingly interminable
series of menus<br>
about exactly which packages I wanted. Having access to that
level of<br>
detail is useful for some, but most people would probably
prefer not to<br>
have to do it except at the outermost level, especially if
they're<br>
newbies. I think that's what the various "products" are
trying to<br>
achieve, though the results are less than ideal at the
moment.<br>

I gathered they stopped issuing the DVD after cramming "everything"
on one disk became, frankly, problematic. And when network upgrade
became all the rage. (It was a little difficult to manage at first.)<br>
