Hi
I don't have much of a clue what it says though. If anyone can read and give a brief summary especially criticisms, that would be great

Just a tiny excerpt from the Hebrew review (which sort of captures the tone):
משתמשים רבים מעדיפים כיום להתקין את אובונטו, בגלל התמיכה הטובה יותר במולטימדיה. המפתחים של פדורה שמרנים יותר בהשוואה, ועושה רושם שהם אינם יוצאים מגידרם כדי להקל על המשתמשים, עסוקים בדברים אחרים, או פשוט אינם מעוניינים לעודד שימוש ברכיבים קינייניים. פדורה 8 מכילה המון חידושים מעניינים - פחות בצד השימושיות של שולחן עבודה מבוסס לינוקס, ויותר בתשתית, מחקר ופיתוח.
"Many users these days prefer to install Ubuntu, because of its better multimedia support. Fedora's developers are relatively more conservative* in this respect, this to the effect that they won't go out of their way to make it easier on the user, being occupied with other business, or simply not interested in encouraging the use of proprietary components. Fedora 8 contains a multitude of interesting innovations - less in the realm of usability or the Linux based desktop, more in the underlying infrastructure, research and development."
* the word may also mean, 'true to their principles'

This guy seem obsessed by a "south african distribution" making constant comparisons (except its founder which is as much south african as myself). To sum up => Pros: * Nice artwork * good hardware support * spins => usual rants: * yum too slow -yuck- * bad integration with third party drivers, multimedia (?)
As many people, he thinks that Koji is a repository. Not really digg worthy.

Again, an excerpt from the German:
"Wie bei anderen im Halbjahresrhythmus entwickelten Linux-Distributionen zeichnet sich auch die neue Fedora-Version durch eine Vielzahl evolutionärer Verbesserungen aus. (...) (...) bei anderen Distributionen muss man hier auf das nächste Upgrade warten oder selbst den Compiler anwerfen."
"As is the case with other semi-annually released Linux distros, the latest Fedora version excels in a multitude of evolutionary improvements. If you do a fresh install of Fedora, Fedora 8 would be the best choice; many users would be tempted by upgrading the preceding version. Especially FC 6 users would have to consider an upgrade, since support for FC 6 ends beginning of December.
You won't find many revolutionary innovations in this distribution, which did not have many noticeable events in its test phase. Examples are the first parts of the Gnome Online Desktop, as well as PulseAudio - the latter solving audio problems that have existed for years now. This may end up being a default in the next versions of Ubuntu and OpenSuse.
Because of its careful modus operandi when it comes to software restricted by patents and non-free licenses, and its self-imposed limitations to open source software, Fedora is a bit less beginner friendly than its two main competitors [needless to say, OpenSuse and Ubuntu]. Instead, Fedora is tempting because of its repositories stuffed with highly up-to-date software, continuously updated during the supported period, with even new packages added to it. Because of new kernel versions with all their new functions and drivers, hardware support is permanently improved even for fresh hardware or hardware yet to be launched in coming months; something other distributions have you wait for for the next upgrade, or you'd have to throw your compiler at it yourself."
