| Gianluca Sforna forwarded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2011-April/013862.html</ref> a posting about his experience converting his significant other to Fedora:
| | "...Fedora clearly has its fans. And, if you work on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) development, it's a really wise idea to keep a copy of Fedora on hand so you can see RHEL's future." |

| "A couple years ago, I bought my wife a new Thinkpad," Slashdot blogger Chris Travers recalled. "She made a specific request: 'I don't want to use something weird, like Linux.'" Though the laptop came with Vista, it "never worked right. It had video card issues, power management issues and networking issues." After a few days, Travers' wife asked him to "'do anything you can to make this work or return it,'" he said. "So I installed Fedora Linux."

| "It is the next best thing after Ubuntu. If it wasn’t for the missing Ubuntu Community, Software Center and annoying Yum it would be the Ubuntu killer. While Fedora also has a community it is hardly as badass and big as the Ubuntu one. | | "Fedora 18 (Spherical Cow) and future releases — along with RHEL 7 and future CentOS releases — will be the best way to enjoy a vanilla Gnome 3 experience." |
|
| |
|
| With Fedora you are getting GNOME 3. No GNOME 2 anymore. With the introduction of GNOME 3 comes a whole new UX needs some getting used to. However after using it for 2 or 3 days its hard to go back to a GNOME 2 environment. Its a solid distro. I experienced no crashes or hick-ups. With some googling and help from Fedora users and developers I managed to install everything I needed."

| === Fusion Linux 14 Thorium - Fedora Plus Plus (dedoimedo.com) === | | === Fedora 18 Linux Set To Package Spherical Cow Load of Features === |
| | |
| [[User:Sundaram|Rahul Sundaram]] forwarded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2011-April/013860.html</ref> an article about Fusion Linux, based on Fedora 14:
| |
|
| |
|
| "Comparing to Fedora, Fusion Linux is a clear winner, as it only builds upon the existing without taking away. The only visible downside is the increased memory consumption, but it's nothing drastic. However, if you pit Fusion against other leading distros, there's a bit of a problem. While they offer similar or longer-term support, they have none of the crashes and instability packaged into Fusion. This could deter potential users." | | "The clock is starting to tick down on the Fedora Linux release with the feature freeze now in place. As such, now is as good a time as any to take a look at some of the new features that are likely to land when Fedora 18 goes live at the end of the year." |

| Kara Schiltz forwarded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2011-April/013830.html</ref> an article about the release of Fedora 15 beta:
| |
| | |
| "The Fedora Project announced the beta release of Fedora 15 "Lovelock," featuring the new GNOME 3 desktop<ref>http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS9840525790.html#</ref>, the Systemd

|
| |
|
| The new beta version of Fedora 15 follows an alpha that _arrived in early March<ref>http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS5489739858.html</ref>. The final is expected in late May. Sponsored by Red Hat, the community-based Fedora is aligned with the commercial _Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)<ref>http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS7398376058.html</ref> release, with Fedora largely used as an upstream, exploratory sandbox for Red Hat."
| | "At a go/no-go meeting of the Fedora QA Team, the developers decided to postpone the release of the first Fedora 18 alpha by a week. The team unanimously voted to not go forward with the release because of the relatively large number of blocker bugs that are still unresolved." |
