Hi
Do we have a overly technical image? What we need to do to change it?
Rahul
In short: Yes and nothing
Longer: We are a very technical distribution, but it's the nature of the current designers and users causing that. We could make Fedora more amateur friendly, but I feel it would be at the expense of the pleasure those of us who like to do things our way. I already uninstall most of the graphical utilitie(s) for yum that I can.
It's also important to note that being the progressive distribution we are, there are going to be things that might not work as expected, which is often frustrating to new users. The current Fedora userbase is, however, a group of driven individuals that appear to enjoy making things work and sharing what they've done. This drive is demonstrated in the many tutorials that are quickly posted to the forums at fedoraforum.org.
This is simply my observations and opinions compounded into one idea.
