If they won't love you, the answer is to make them FEAR YOU!!!!

Just kidding, you can't win with the Slashdot audience as a whole, 
whatever you do the bulk of them are invested in some other mindset and 
they will post just to argue with whatever you are asserting.  In 
addition, if you post against the views of the editors, not on 
Slashdot-related topics either, you may find your post abruptly going 
from +5 to -1 in the space of a minute or two, by mysterious powers 
unknown to mortals.

If you have time to read it, I guess you can find some true things about 
Fedora amongst the huge dollop of slime, otherwise time is better spent 
doing what you were doing and trying http://digg.com
