NetworkManager doesn't work for a lot of user scenarios, like wanting to have network on before a user logs in, static IPs reliably, etc... Until these issues are fixed we'd be doing one set of users a disservice while trying to please another set. "Better icons and themes" well, that's a matter of getting artists to contribute to Fedora. How many artists that have contributed to Ubuntu have looked at what Ubuntu licenses their artwork as? Is there anything formal in place? We've been dealing with that issue in Fedora land, we want to make it easy for artists to contribute while not stomping on their rights and our own as well. Consistent colors? I thought things were pretty consistant in FC5 with the shipped theme... Application integration. That's sufficiently vague enough for a /. post (: -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
