I've been reserving judgement on your posts in the past. With all due respect, I think your posts are without critical depth. One second you over-praise and over-sell Fedora (and Linux). Another second you have issues with Fedora (and Linux). Both cases make me cringe because I differ greatly with both. Especially on what Fedora (and Linux) does and does not do, and what another distro or non-Linux does and does not do. Many of your pro-Fedora statements are just blantant over-sells. I have to fight those on Linux in general way too much. But going the other way, your complements of non-Fedora or non-Linux and things I completely and technically disagree with. E.g., NT 6.0 Longhorn's Avalon was poorly implemented in WGF 1.1. The resulting Aero interface is complely inferior to Xgl and AIGLX. I could go very, very deep on these things and more. So I ask you, please, please don't approach Fedora with such a ."manic-depressive" duality, as it only reflects poorly. I've seen it all-too-often, one day happy, next day onto another distro. Just some advice, take it or leave it as you wish, hate me for pointing it out, believe I'm mistaken, etc... -- Bryan J Smith - mailto:b.j.smith@xxxxxxxx http://thebs413.blogspot.com Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile -----Original Message----- From: "Markus McLaughlin" <hudsonman35@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 15 Aug 2007 21:47:19 To:fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Fedora-marketing-list Digest, Vol 38, Issue 18 I have CentOS 5 Live CD, it's great to have when Fedora crashes, which it does once in a while. I hope the Global Desktop will be RHEL 5 lite so the rest of us can move up to it eventually. I am very curious about Fedora 8, I hope there will be some more "eye candy," and more features thanks to KDE 4 and GNOME 2.20. Esp. since catching up to Vista means optional Sidebars and Mac-Like Docks. The one wish I like to see granted in F 8 and beyond is a Expanded Start Menu similar to XP/Vista, this would be useful for inexperienced users who don't know much about the Command Line. I will be on vacation next week, so I will be posting on my blog from Sweden for 2 weeks, Farewell Fedora Fans for now!!!
