    A general complaint I've had about 'desktop-oriented' Linux 
distributions is that the GUI tries to push people into half-baked GUI 
apps and discourage people from opening a terminal window,  which is 
usually easier to use because there are fewer bugs in the command line 
programs -- I've got an older machine where my usual way of getting an 
xterm is Alt-F2 "xterm".

    Given that FC is a distribution aimed at Linux enthusiasts,  and not 
a 'windows-killer' aimed at novices,  I think the command line should be 
getting more real estate on the screen,  not less.
