I would like to object to the image of Fedora merely being "an

Well, the point of describing it that way is the end users don't
necessarily understand the idea of an operating system but most people
would know what Windows is. By describing it as a alternative, you get
the basic idea across. Try explaining to a non technical person, what
Linux is.
