4. a very big number showing Fedora version, and a smaller codename
under or upper the nuber
i suggest to append:
some kind of short slogan abut the 4F:
example:
" Four Reason not to miss Fedora 9:
Fedora is the First worldest linux distribution to integrate KDE 4 (am
I wrong???)
Fedora has a reach of richness Features (amarok:listening mp3s,
K3B:burning DVDs...)
Fedora has a great Foundation that will care of your needs!
Feel you Freedom to try Fedora, it's Free. Once you try, you'll push
it to yours Friends, SURE!"
What do you think about it?

Co-branding?
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi,
I was talking recently to a couple of friends who aren't in the software
industry and it came out in our recent discussions that both the
companies they are working for is using Fedora on their systems. They
remarked that they had no idea that Red Hat was involved in Fedora.
I still meet people in various places who think Red Hat has stopped
working on a free distribution after Red Hat Linux 9 and continue to use
it or worse a earlier version.
I just looked within Fedora to see if there was any hint and couldn't
really find any prominent ones. The note on http://fedoraproject.org is
also easily missed. Is this a deliberate decision? Should there be some
of co-branding within the distribution and a prominent hint in other places?
Something like Fedora - Powered by Red Hat/ Sponsored by Red Hat or some
such.

Torvalds Gets Sense of Humour
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi,
Linus Torvalds has a sense of humour. /"Youtube no workee - Fedora 9 not
usable for wife."/ So begins a bug he filed on Fedora's Bugzilla
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=439858>. /"I didn't try a
lot of videos, but I couldn't find a single one that actually worked.
And what's the internet without the rick-roll? Some just show a light
gray background, some give the play buttons etc, but show only a black
screen even when the red ball at the bottom moves along. Steps to
reproduce: 1. Install current Fedora 9; 2. Rick-roll!; 3. No profit!"/
