Changing from "Fedora is a linux operating system" to "Fedora is > a Linux based operating system" doesn't change that. Let's look at "Linux-based" and roll it around our tongues for a few days.

Naturally I'm thoughtful on this area for a different reason. "Leading-edge" was old(er) wording, maybe it left because it was too close to "bleeding-edge", not sure about that. Anyway, it was a phrase I am still not sure about. Sometimes it seems like a nice compromise from bleeding; not quite at the sharp part, but almost there, like this close: > < I guess the point for me is that "leading" and "bleeding" are subject to interpretation and are thusly either hyperbolic or inaccurate. It never means quite the same thing to two different people. Also, both terms seem to me to be reactions to the overused "cutting edge." Oi, these gerunds! Anyway, all that said, I still don't have a solution. More words is not the answer.
