Ok, the first thing that I mention here is that fedora is a very different kind of monster than that of Mac OS X/10.x. That said, the fedora project doesn't need to completely go down the path that Apple Inc. has. As you said that in the document, Ubuntu seems to content to fill that hole. I think that it would be best left to them. Second, in an odd way of thinking.... This has already happened, sort of. The Fedora Art Studio spin does use that is found within the distribution to build something that you here have coined 'fedoraLife'. Now admiringly, the tools and applications found in Art Studio are not all geared for ease-of-use like Ubuntu Studio or the iLife suite. I will also admit that Art Studio was announced a while ago, but has yet to produce a ISO. They need help, you might consider helping them since you are on a similar frame of thought. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/ArtTeamProjects/FedoraArtStudio On Wed, 2008-06-11 at 12:46 -0400, Markus McLaughlin wrote: > What Apple does for its OS is what Fedora should also do.
