Fedora Core, Fedora Project, Fedora/GNU, Fedora BSD, Fedora Coupe deVille, Fedora ala mode

[rg2]

OK, you missed some of my points, especially the Linux bit (what happens 
in the future if there is a Linux and BSD version?), but...

Anyway, to the meat of the matter: is it correct-legal-acceptable in 
printed materials (books, magazines, online articles etc) then, to refer 
to what the user has or is putting on his or her machine, the Fedora 
Project distro, as just Fedora.  For example,  "Once you have installed 
Fedora, you can....," "Fedora allows you to.....," "If you are new to 
Fedora, you will find..." and so on.  Red Hat seemed fussy on this point 
in the past, insisting, as I recall, that Red Hat be referred to as Red 
Hat Linux Operating System or, at least, Red Hat Linux, rather than Red 
Hat.  

And, getting back to that icon of a hat on the GNOME menu that just 
happens to be a red hat, not a Red Hat, is it going to stay?  Don't want 
to waste my effort on a slew of new screenshots.  

And also.... the screenshots on some of your pages, show the traditional 
Bluecurve window borders, but the window borders in the latest Rawhide 
releases are quite different.  WHich goes on to the new Fedora?  The 
Rawhide version?
