[Fedora-marketing-list] Fedora Core 6 - Batteries Included...
by Rahul Sundaram 07 Nov '06

07 Nov '06

Hi "Fedora Core 6 (FC6) is one of the most comprehensive Linux offering I have seen to date. I have worked with Linux distributions starting from Redhat Linux 6.2 and forward. FC6 appears to be running most of the applications that users would need. Be it personal photo and video tools or office productivity suits. In addition, it also comes with a host of proven network and systems management tools built into the system." http://www.dharwadkar.com/technology/linux/fc6_install/ Rahul

[Fedora-marketing-list] suse/opensuse contributors For Fedora ?
by Chitlesh GOORAH 07 Nov '06

07 Nov '06

Hello there, Like many of you have seen in many mailing lists, suse/opensuse users and contributors are disgusted. Here, these users/contributors are mostly pro-kde, it's normal because it's suse. However some/these contributors are in search of another distro who supports KDE. Since Fedora Project already started working on UnleashKDE and will be looking for community fedora KDE contributors, I feel we need to market more on Fedora's KDE status and community contributors are respected! The idea came when a friend of mine, - a KDE contributor who spends time writing documentation and do french translation - user of opensuse suddenly seriously looking for another distro who supports KDE. People like him would be useful for the fedora community !! What do you think about it ? Any plans to make fedora benefit from this ? Even if you are not a KDE user, you can still have your say,huh! chitlesh -- http://clunixchit.blogspot.com

Benny, Thank you for your interest in Fedora. However, it is not for me to decide whether the template can be used freely, so I am copying the Fedora Marketing list.

Hi "Over at eWEEK Labs, we just took a long look at the latest release of Red Hat's Fedora Core 6. In a word, the Lab guys were impressed." "Virt-manager is the first step towards making Xen manageable to Joe System Admin. As such, I like it, and Fedora Core 6, a lot." http://www.linux-watch.com/news/NS5727666381.html Rahul

[Fedora-marketing-list] Info
by Gabriel Maluréanu 04 Nov '06

04 Nov '06

Hi, I'm setting up a software development team under Linux environment. I need to start "protected" by buying a commercial support (technical assistance) and most people are driving me to RH, since, in addition, they provide also support for JBoss and MySQL (aka RHAS), which I'll use. Question: since I intend, when the company will be in "steady-state", to work on a free Linux distro, while supporting it, would you please let me know what would be the connection points, from the practical standpoint, between RHEL and Fedora, compared to other free distros? I'd like to use on some servers the RH supported licenses, and on others a free distro, the "closest" possible to RH. Would be Fedora this one (and why)? Thanks a lot, Gabriel --

This is the elevator >pitch: "What is Fedora? Fedora is a set of projects sponsored by Red >Hat and guided by the contributors. These projects are developed by >a large community of people who strive to provide and maintain the >very best in free, open source software and standards." I chose Fedora as my linux distribution after reading this: "If you want to learn about Linux, and then get a job working with it, Red Hat's community distribution, Fedora is the desktop, not to mention server, for you. Red Hat Linux is, without question, the single most important business Linux. As fond as I am of some of the other distributions, if I had to make a living working on Linux tomorrow, I'd be working toward my RHCE (Red Hat Certified Engineer) certification as soon as possible." http://fedoranews.org/wiki/Fedora_Weekly_News_Issue_31#Choosing_a_desktop_L… http://www.desktoplinux.com/articles/AT3269115798.html I closely follow news regarding the relationship between RHEL and Fedora releases, such as this back in June: "Beta 1 of [Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5] is slated to be available in late July and Beta 2 - which will incorporate the Fedora Core 6 build - is planned for release in mid September" http://www.itnews.com.au/newsstory.aspx?CIaNID=33276 As much as I enjoy learning about and using linux, I really could not justify my time investment if the experience I gained was not tranferable to my IT career all the way up to the enterprise level. This is what distinguishes Fedora from all the hobbiest distributions and I consider it to be Fedora's most disinguishing aspect. Let's not undervalue it.
