And here I though different distributions were targeted to different
users, and not all the same. I did not know that Fedora was even
considered a product. I thought it was a test bed for new ideas and
software.

Now, I would consider RedHat Linux a product. Ubuntu could also be
considered a product. To a lesser extent CentOS, and other
distributions based on RH Linux are products.

Just my thoughts on the subject...

Um, I thought Red Hat was releasing a tested and supported system...and Fedora was just a test bed for the latest software and was only for those willing/desiring to take the chance/risk...and deal with bleeding edge software?  (...should there be more emphasis on bleeding?)  I think no one has room to complain (well, for the most part) of this paradigm/...  As for myself...yes I might have some worries with regards to basic file system changes (ext3/ext4/btrfs.../others?) and hope for no catastrophic results from using bleeding edge software.  But I have no worries about the rest and so far no insurmountable difficulties...and I have made my choice a very long time ago (I did start with RedHat 4.0 I think)...and I support Fedora (at least as a KDE user...)....

PS: I am not interested in creating any flame wars, accusations of troll baiting...I just want a system that I can use,,,and Fadora ( has mostly) done this for me.  I have never be a Gnome user, feels too locked down...difficult...excepting (for a brief period of time) when KDE 4.0 was released I have just been a KDE user with the Fedora base....then I tried Gnome, gave up and tried several other desktop managers for several months and then reverted to KDE once new versions were released.
