There are plenty of other distros out there that are trying to appeal to beginning Linux users, Fedora IS NOT ONE OF THEM.... Here is an FAQ from RedHat... http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_61_1139.shtm "The Fedora Project is a Red-Hat-sponsored and community-supported open source project geared toward developers and highly technical enthusiasts using Linux in non-critical environments. It is also a proving ground for new technology that may eventually make its way into Red Hat products and the open source code base. The goal of the Fedora Project is to work with the Linux community to build a complete, general purpose operating system exclusively from free software." -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
