switch to systemd<ref>http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd</ref>, an  
alternative to sysvinit and upstart released in May. Lately Fedora has been using upstart to launch the system and services, but has continued to use sysvinit scripts. The current state of systemd development and background information on the state of integration into Fedora is summarised by Lennart Poettering, the main developer behind systemd, in a post on his blog <ref>http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd-update.html</ref>. In discussions
on systemd on LWN-net, he has stated<ref>http://lwn.net/Articles/401441/</ref> that faster booting is just one of many objectives for systemd – some systems boot significantly faster with systemd, whereas others see little difference."

"Fedora is the free version of Red Hat, whose RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) has been a commercial product since 2003. Because of that close connection, Fedora is particularly strong on enterprise features, and it often offers them before RHEL does.
 
Fedora also offers a six-month release schedule, and its security features are excellent. While some have viewed it as a cutting-edge distro for the Linux "hobbyist," I think improvements over the years and widespread popularity have combined to make it a good choice for newer Linux users as well."
