(to wit, he mailed me yesterday to say that he's using Ubuntu on his Mac Mini Core Duo box until I fix a grub bug he's hitting...)
Even in the article interview he says what he's using isn't that important, because the distros are relatively similar. He's just using fedora on his systems because he's lazy and this is the easiest way for him to get visual consistency across his machines. It could have been any other distro. He's actually saying that at this point the choice between distros mostly doesn't matter much. That isn't a particularly strong selling point, and I bet if anyone makes the effort to quote him out of context, he'll make a public statement disavowing whatever over-reaching implications that are attempted to hang on the segment of the interview where he says he's using fedora. Reading the whole interview.. he's saying the particular distro choice at this point isn't that important. I sentiment I'd agree with, and yet one I wouldn't suggest making a driving part of the Fedora marketing campaign. -jef"Use fedora on your ppc... because its already on your pc"spaleta -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
