Review: Beefy Fedora could use a dash of miracle whip
Jason Brooks posted[1]:
"While Fedora 17 is certainly beefy, what's been delivered with this first and only beta is not particularly miraculous.
"Among the more noticeable changes is GNOME 3.4, the latest version of the GNOME 3 desktop. While the Fedora DVD still ships with a variety of desktops, the live CD defaults to GNOME and for some time now Fedora has served as a showcase for the development of GNOME 3."

HealthCheck Fedora: Where's the beef?
Jason Brooks posted[1] a lengthy (2,800 word) take on Fedora and its history from The H:
"To the right kind of user, with imagination and adventure to spare, Fedora is a thing of wonder. And for other users there are Fedora spins which give a different set of perspectives for those with specialised tastes and preferences. The value of Fedora to ordinary users is that it doesn't stand still, and each new release brings new possibilities."
