"Jackass IT stunt No. 1: Route city services through a laptop. Ever wonder whether you could route an entire city network through a laptop running Fedora? Take a seat. Or better yet, leave the chair for your laptop. You'll need to balance it somewhere to keep city services up and operational through a two-day snowstorm.
"Fedora 14 KDE is well suited for experienced users who prefer the KDE desktop environment. The Fedora developers have done a good job blending Fedora’s tools and features with KDE. So there’s a lot of value here if you are a KDE user"

After a feverish half-hour configuring the switch and setting up 802.1q trunking and routing on a Dell Latitude running Fedora Linux, the city network was back up and running, with all traffic routing through a single interface on the laptop balanced on a chair in the data center."

Robyn Bergeron forwarded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-December/013629.html</ref> a comparison of current Fedora and other linux distributions:
 
"The truth is that there is a distro for everyone. If you want some of the latest technologies, especially in terms of underlying system code, virtual machines and other of-themoment tech, Fedora is a good bet. If you want to have a friendlier desktop experience where your every whim is catered for, Ubuntu would be better for your needs.
 
And, while we're on the subject, if you want to run KDE, you are probably better off with OpenSUSE. There are certainly more than enough Linuxes to go around."

Rahul Sundaram forwarded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-December/013628.html</ref> a recent review of Fedora 14:
 
"While some users may be turned off by the lack of easy-to-reach proprietary drivers/codecs and the barren default software selection, most will appreciate the true qualities of this distro:
 
*  its focus on developing the community and trying to keep everyone active and contributing in some way or another;
* giving users access to the latest and greatest apps in the open source world;
*  its commitment to freedom.
 
Surely, as always, there is room for improvement, but I found Laughlin to be the most stable and solid version of Fedora I've tried in years. "
