Beyond a basic desktop, what use cases would you like to see us represent? i have two uses-cases for Fedora private: * homerouter / firewall / VPN-gateway / WLAN-AP (hostapd) * fileserver for all sorts of data * music server (MPD) * KDE desktop * web-develoment (Eclipse) * all sort of servers like for business in VMware Workstation _______________________ business: * software development * web-applications / web-services / cms-systems * admin backends for different services like mail/web/ftp/sftp/EPP * deployment-tools (shell/php-scripts) * router / firewall / VPN-gateway for small offices * http-server / load-balancer (httpd / apache trafficserver) * ftp-server * mailserver (dbmail, dovecot, postfix, mysql) * database servers (for web-sites as well for admin-backends) * fileserver (smb / netatalk) * dns-servers (authoritative for hosting and internal resolvers * dhcpd * sftp-servers with nss-mysql in case of many virtual users * voip / fax (asterisk, hylafax, iaxmodem) * openvpn in summary: any network-service for internal usage as well as for customer services based on self-written admin- and deployment tools on top of VMware vSphere and running all on Fedora since many years and any dist-upgrade online with YUM all the time
