I meant "Each Fedora release, there is a new artwork theme". Thus this implies a lot of work A lot of work ==>>> A lot of discussion and A lot of communication You can even see non english artwork contributors working together on an english platform to come up in the end with a product, (a new artwork theme, in this case) In my opinion, this is something that deserves RESPECT ! Now when you see other distributions having the same artwork for many years surely there's would be more polished. However the Fedora Artwork community has recently adopted a new strategy besides only producing artwork. Now they are willing to promote opensource tools they use for designing artwork. see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/ArtTeamProjects/FedoraArtStudio Well that deserves RESPECT TOO ! > Let me a test, Chitlesh, ask to you; please, go to both sites briefly: > You are a really common desktop user..

I'm a special case. I value quality/professional and hardwork before appearance as you might surely deduce from now. This attitude affects my movie/music selections up to my favorite distro. I talked to various contributors of various distributions on various open source events, but never saw something professional, for me to say "wow" (only centos). I won't choose a distro just because of its look, but rather how professional its contributors are. That's the main reason why I recommend Centos after fedora. > You're right here too.

With a few minutes spent reading the threads one can automatically deduce the weakness of the writer. Then you point to the right URL. that's it ! :) However I'm not in the distro war, as I take fedora as the upstream of other linux distributions, you might even see that on my blog postings. Ok, I guess this discussion is going way off from its title. Chitlesh ==:ads :==) PS: If a user wants to do VLSI simulation, besides Fedora there is no other distribution which is simple to use and install !! see: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/FedoraElectronicLab Now if the user wants to use proprietary vlsi simulators on linux, AGAIN fedora and its derivatives are THE BEST solutions !! see my blog posts why. -- http://clunixchit.blogspot.com -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
