Workstation is the one for desktop use. That leaves server to aim for the traditional fedora user base, since cloud is (understandably) a very different thing. So if you want a desktop system with a security focus where do you look now? As pointed out elsewhere, the firewall configuration GUI isn't even installed by default, so if you want to change this on a new system you may have to connect to the internet to do it and this is hidden from people who are new to the system. -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
