And both of them were lovely from my point of view. Fedora 15 was the
first distribution to feature GNOME3 as default desktop environment. And
it was already awesome, even though not without a glitch. Fedora 16
became even better.  What is about Fedora KDE? As I have written, Fedora
15 KDE was very good, and Fedora 16 KDE was even better."

everything works fine, that's great. But on the other side, the other
person needs to succeed just once! Whatever ten things you have that is
successful, is done away with this one failure. Well that is the story
in the proprietary perspective. In the open source perspective,
everything that we build is completely transparent. Everybody knows what
we are building."

have looked at Fedora before, and you didn't want to use it because of
the difficulty and tedium of getting a lot of common non-FOSS packages
installed, then you should take a look at Kororaa. Of course, if you are
a FOSS-purist, you are likely to think that Kororaa is an abomination."
