So, *what is* Fedora then?

I read this somewhere:
"(Operating System) software that controls the execution of computer
programs and may provide various services"

And from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system.

"An operating system (commonly abbreviated OS and O/S) is the
infrastructure software component of a computer system; it is
responsible for the management and coordination of activities and the
sharing of the limited resources of the computer"
