Someone's missing the point...

[Thijs Hulshof]

Hi,

I think Fedora has an image problem, especially with starting users. On my 
Linux-forum, Fedora is often called a distribution for testing things, not 
for serious desktop-use. As a Fedora-supporter, I'm always trying to 
contradict... but there should be nothing to contradict.

As a solution, I think we should focus more on new Linux-users. Currently, 
there are not really things that attract new users.

Fedora is easy to use, imho it is easier then Ubuntu. I think all popular 
distributions (Fedora, SuSE, Ubuntu, Mandriva, etc.) are ready for the 
desktop, but the usage statistics heavily depend on the community. Almost 
every reviewer is excited about Ubuntu. If that reviewer started with 
Fedora, maybe (s)he should be even more excited about Fedora.
