I'm not thrilled. There's no contact information. When you click the thumbnails, nothing happens. There's no "About" page. Before clicking "Join Fedora" you're not sure what to expect from this commonplace title. Same for "Planet The voices of the Fedora community", you don't know if it's a series of blogs, or testimonials. There's no screencast, or at least a few screenshots. I hope they read my comments.

imho, the old RH base do have lots of problems for becoming a good upstream distro. Package management was not easy, deriving/respin a distro from RH requires more messing around, etc .. I've used RH9 and now using Fedora (since FC3) and in each release , I see the changes are moving to an interesting direction - moving upward and become a great upstream distro ..Fedora during FC1-FC4 to me was an unstable distro - maybe due to RH to Fedora evolution ... but FC6 , and the upcoming F7 , I can say that Fedora is now ready to start hunting for prime time .. Stability in Fedora have increased, YUM have improved a lot, derivative distro can be created easily, contributions are becoming much easier due to the merge , ease of use and speed now on the way , etc .. it has now fully reborn .. no longer RH, but fully Fedora ..Fedora 7 is a new start for the whole FedoraProject ... a Phoenix reborn from the ashes of RH .. long live Fedora :D

Hmm...they are taking the getfirefox.com approach. Excellent. It worked very well for Mozilla, and this will work nice for them.Go Fedora! (as you can tell, they are my fav distro)

Exactly, I don't even have a Mac, but seeing those screenshots makes me want OS X. I'm sure Fedora is a fantastic operating system, but the site doesn't make me immediately want to rush out and get a copy.

@ungamedplayer to me , its more like debian rather than *buntu .. let some other guy spin/manage a distro based on fedora that'll challenge *buntu .. I love fedora the way it is :Dyup .. i'm also happy on rawhide :D .. usually i start using rawhide on Test2s of every release ... and so far .. nothing serious happened ..

I can only tell you that among other cool and powerful features, the graphics in Fedora 7 are far better than Vista. (And I've been running Vista since last Spring's betas.) I was running Kubuntu and switched to Fedora because everything is simpler, faster, easier. And whoa, wait till you see your applications under Fedora — they're incredible, and that's no exagerration.
