Why do I use Fedora.

It is the main OS outside of Windows that is used around work.  I have 
so few issues with Fedora.  There is allot of support info available. 
  I started with Slackware and tried others.  I almost went to Gentoo 
but didn't like the idea of compiling all the applications.

I would like Fedora to support multimedia better at the outset but 
that won't happen as long as lawyers can make a fortune on 
questionable IP laws.

After some problems, Fedora is getting back on track again.

Some people make the mistake of upgrading and then complain about 
headaches and problems.  Fedora should be installed cleanly.  I went 
through the upgrade mistake once and I won't do it again.
