Agreed.

Just to be clear about the Fedora bent -- we are the Fedora Magazine,
not a generic Linux magazine.  The Magazine exists not just to inform
users but to also help us build the corpus of Fedora knowledge, and
build the Fedora brand.  So IMHO we should always think about how an
article can demonstrate concepts in Fedora specifically.

That's why I requested finding a way to tie this general concept
(GB/GiB) to something Fedora users can put their hands on.  The Blivet
idea is a good one!
