Agreed...but we can't do much more than submit the link to the list? It seems getting dugg is harder to do - we picked up 30 + diggs very quickly and made it to the top of the upcoming list in the Linux section but then things slowed :( I think the problem we're fighting with here is that a lot of digg users probably don't read the article before voting: they see Ubuntu and "Release" in the title and hit digg regardless of the content. Well OK, that's a guess - any other explanations? Just in case people reading this thread haven't been over to digg yet, there's still time: http://digg.com/linux_unix/Fedora_9_Sulphur_Alpha_Released/ Best wishes, Jon -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
