Konklusionen angående Fedora 11:

"Conclusion

Fedora is, and will most likely always remain, a Red Hat-sponsored project. As such, it is targeted to the goals of the sponsor which in this case is enterprise users; more specifically server technologies. The technology that Fedora has implemented is excellent. Fedora is a leader in engineering and in implementing new technologies for Linux and when it comes to this, Fedora (and Red Hat) is second to none. However, if you're looking for a nice desktop experience and or are looking to migrate from Windows or Mac OS X, Fedora is not an ideal option. It's good, but the desktop experience does not compare to other distributions that cater to the desktop experience; specifically Ubuntu, Mandriva and openSUSE. Now, if only we can get these camps to work closer together..."

Det er vel en udmærket konklusion generelt.

Men det er ikke helt rigtigt at Fedora er server-centreret.

Selvom RH(EL) er temmeligt ligeglade med desktoppen forretningsmæssigt pt., så driver Fedora/RH alligevel meget desktop-orienteret udvikling - liberation fonts, networkmanager, gnome, packagekit, nouveau, og mange andre ting.

Now, if only we can get these camps to work closer together...

Og hvordan gør man så det? Upstreamorienteret arbejde op ad community projekter.
