Fedora Core 1 _does_ come with Epiphany, which I believe is a project 
that split from Galeon (the original guy in charge of Galeon left to 
start Epiphany).  From what I hear, he did this because he thought that 
Galeon was becoming too "power-user" and he wanted a simpler browser, 
thus, Epiphany.  Why the Fedora team chose Epiphany over Galeon, I'm not 
certain.
