</div>And here I though different distributions were targeted to different<br>
users, and not all the same. I did not know that Fedora was even<br>
considered a product. I thought it was a test bed for new ideas and<br>
software.<br>
<br>
Now, I would consider RedHat Linux a product. Ubuntu could also be<br>
considered a product. To a lesser extent CentOS, and other<br>
distributions based on RH Linux are products.<br>
<br>
Just my thoughts on the subject...<br>

As for myself...yes I might have some worries with regards to basic file system changes (ext3/ext4/btrfs.../others?) and hope for no catastrophic results from using bleeding edge software. But I have no worries about the rest and so far no insurmountable difficulties...and I have made my choice a very long time ago (I did start with RedHat 4.0 I think)...and I support Fedora (at least as a KDE user...)....</div>

I have never be a Gnome user, feels too locked down...difficult...excepting (for a brief period of time) when KDE 4.0 was released I have just been a KDE user with the Fedora base....then I tried Gnome, gave up and tried several other desktop managers for several months and then reverted to KDE once new versions were released.</div>
