    As one of the top or top 10 Linux OS distros out there, Fedora has also proven its reliability and commitment of to provide a solid system for all users. I have used it on various computers and found it excellent. I don't recommend for older computers thought, but at least a P4 2.6ghz or higher and lots of ram and with excellent graphics card. This new release is graphics intense and resource hungry, so max out your ram, plus at least a 500mb video card to match, and you will enjoy Fedora as it head into the 21st century!

    I just love Fedora 15! I was a long term Ubuntu girl but Fedora 15 leaves Natty in the dust.

    Gnome 3 is just so much preferable than Unity.

    In truth Fedora just doesnt cut it period.
    1.It just doesnt have the software period.
    2.It is a good try.
    3.In the 21st century any distro that doesnt have wifi drivers preinstalled and ready to run at start is both a failure and a joke.

    Back to windows for me fellas

    When the developers quit being lazy and install the broadcom drivers Fedora just might make it.

    Overall a nice try but it doesnt cut it.

    Sorry.

    Fedora... the party pack from Red-Hat’s desk is now celebrating its 14th triumph over the world of Linux based OS’s, the FC14, codenamed Laughlin… is no doubt a step ahead of the other parallel distros- with its great stability, ease of use and excellent memory management.. The live version is a nice solution for today's students' economic headaches-- the net-tops. Yup, trying the x64 to a core2duo desktop, and the X86 to an Atom powered Lilliput, i must agree that there is some magic in r-h's coding....
    Few ‘NEW’-s in Laughlin:
    > Bundled with Linux kernel release 2.6.35/36.
    > Updated Boost to the upstream 1.44 release
    > Addition of the D compiler (LDC) and D standard runtime library (Tango)
    > Concurrent release of Fedora 14 on the Amazon EC2 cloud
    > Updated Fedora's Eclipse stack to Helios releases
    > Updated Erlang to the upstream R14 release
    > Replacement of libjpeg with libjpeg-turbo
    > Inclusion of virt-v2v tool
    > Inclusion of Spice framework for VDI deployment
    > Updates to Rakudo Star implementation of Perl 6
    > NetBeans IDE updated to the 6.9 release
    > Inclusion of ipmiutil system management tool
    > Inclusion of a tech preview of the GNOME Shell environment
    The excellent driver sustenance, especially for a lot of non-generic pci/pci-e devices, is what I call ‘FRESH’ for it, but still no firmware for Broadcom cards… long live the ndiswrapper.
    Compiz is partially bundled, without config editor, but however, can be easily fixed with yum install.
    Another headache is that the synaptic installer is missing, the GUI for yum bundled instead, is not so well equipped, no in-built software list, and you must type the full (and correct :-p) software name to find it... on the other hand, yum is fortified with the delta (presto) plugin, so, once you know the name, it seems easier to get it done faster by yum’s CUI....
    Have tried the ‘Electronics Lab’, ‘Sugar-on-a-Stick’, ‘KDE’ and ‘Gnome’ spins…. Too good to evaluate…

    Good hardware support, good support to third party repositories, and also good (:-p) maneuverability with proprietary drivers (how the world would be without ndiswrapper or fwcutter!!!!!!).
    Anyways, as an old admirer of fedora, i must have to rate it 9.5 out of 10. :)

    Fedora 11 is obviously the best distro i've ever tried, though some modification needed for my wireless setup. the automatic downloading features is what i like most. playing CD and DVD (movie and audio) is effortless.

    try fedora and you'll feel the different. However, each individual has its own preferences, but hey...just give it a try...you'll love it.

    Fedora 11 is obviously not final yet. The Installer encountered a hard disk partition error which I could not bypass. I switched back to Fedora 10 and it worked. My advice for Fedora 11: Wait.

    What you need to know about Fedora/other linux distributions:
    Fedora 11 will come with “automatic installation of multimedia codecs” according to the Alpha release. Being able to install this from repositories makes fedora my favorite distribution and I can finally recommend it to new linux users. I probably tried more than 30 different and most popular operating systems including windows {3.1 to vista, mac, ubuntu, opensuse, fedora, debian, opensolaris …)
    pros: best looking os, powerful and allows you to customize, updated every six months to most current technologies, now allows multimedia istallation
    Cons: sometimes introduces kernels that are not ready (not as stable as debian,centos or even ubuntu)

    I like Ubuntu better because it has better "package".
    I hope it came with out of the box applications including multimedia support.
    After installing fedora, I had to fix my wifi, sound support... thanks to ubuntu forum support.
    when everything is ready, fedora rocks!!!

    Fedora 9 is the best Linux distro available. It has many features and many packages. However, sometimes one requires some tinkering to use it perfectly, but it is excellent for both new Linux users as well as experienced users.

    Why so many CDRWs to take care of a 1 CDRW
    problem?......the install on my i386/i586/3.6GHZ
    Intel/cpu/Pentium4/socket775 on ABIT mobo was going so well?!.....
    why can't Fedora make a KDE or XFCE version that fits one 1 CDRW.....that's say.....512MB/iso.....that size downloads quickly on Verizon/Indiana/DSL/ISP/internet service.....hey
    Fedora........KISS.....Keep It Simple Stupid......if install only required 1 CDRW....install would
    have worked nearly perfect.

    I have fedora 8 installed on my laptop (Intel @ 2.6ghz), and work very good. I had problems with kernel panic when I was added new programs (using add programs). Instalation of new programs is bad side of this distrubution. Also if you want to watch a xvid movies, you must buy a codec. Hardware is supported at all :)

    I'm happy with this distribution...
