While I agree with the sentiment ("Don't use Fedora.") I don't agree with the reasoning behind it. I choose to not use Fedora because it is not well suited to what I do. The fact that Red Hat does not allow you to use the Fedora name does not limit your freedom with using the software, nor redistributing it. If I take a copy of RH 7, put a Debian logo on it and call it Debian, I'd imagine the Debian developers wouldn't be too pleased when people start calling them telling them what a terrible, outdated, buggy piece of junk they've released. By that same token, someone using the Fedora name for a modified Fedora distribution could POTENTIALLY make RH look even worse than it already does. Umm... I mean... "could make RH look bad". :) -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY! Encrypted mail preferred. You can get my public key from any of the pgp.net keyservers.
