Don't mix and match both please. The Red Hat announcement was NOT abandoning the desktop either. The people who misread the announcement -- mostly journalists -- posted headlines that completely misstated what Red Hat announced. Red Hat announced that it was not looking at producing a paid consumer desktop product right now, which is not at all the same thing. Red Hat continues to put a huge amount of money and manpower into creating and improving desktop technologies, like NetworkManager, PolicyKit, PackageKit, GNOME, Bluetooth, and many, many others. Red Hat created or largely funded many of these innovative technologies, and they have been adopted by a number of other Linux distributions as well, including Ubuntu and OpenSuSE. Millions of users worldwide make use of them every day and appreciate how they make the Linux desktop experience truly outstanding. Making the desktop experience great for users is very important to Red Hat -- but the company is not going to change its strategy to start *selling desktop software to users.* Note this has nothing to do with Fedora at all. > Fedora is still actively geared towards Desktop usage (hence the > different Desktop Live CD's and so on). > > /me will post a more detailed response to this thread in due time No need. Let's consider this a dead thread and get back to talking about documentation here, rather than unrelated topics. Thanks! -- Paul W.
