Actually F7 is very good and has little in common with the very early
days of 5.2. That is the yum package management is as good as apt, it
auto detects as good as knoppix and I'm pleased that Xen has been
improved so I can now boot XP from Linux. In fact I've had more trouble
with Ubuntu so brownie points to the Fedora developers. It depends on
what camp you are in. Red Hat are the make the best of what is available
and compromise if it moves Linux forward. Debian are argue till the cows
come home and deliver late - everytime ;-)
