What is the deal with the Ubuntu resizing thing then?  It is actually 
going to shrink and grow existing non-native filesystems like NTFS to 
make room?

There is actually a project for Fedora live CDs

It was the stuff about apt-get being "vastly superior" to yum that 
guided me to think the author was perhaps more familiar and happy with 
Ubuntu.

Do you have an opinion on why Ubuntu has a higher profile at the moment 
than Fedora, if you even agree that is the case?

Anyway the article and the bigger stuff about Fedora is welcome 
publicity for the project seems to me.

Hope your mouth feels better.
