*2. Fedora*

Fedora is the free version of Red Hat, whose RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise
Linux
<http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/192929/red_hat_focuses_new_rhel_55_on_multicore.html>)
has been a commercial product since 2003. Because of that close
connection, Fedora is particularly strong on enterprise features, and it
often offers them before RHEL does.

Fedora also offers a six-month release schedule, and its security
features

are excellent. While some have viewed it as a cutting-edge distro for
the Linux "hobbyist," I think improvements over the years and widespread
popularity have combined to make it a good choice for newer Linux users
as well.

On #1 Ubuntu, they say:

..
.....
" Founded by South African millionaire Mark Shuttleworth, Canonical--the
company behind Ubuntu--for many years shipped Ubuntu CDs to interested
users for free, thus speeding its market penetration."
......

/me wonders what we can do to speed market penetration (OTHER than ship
free CDs)

These are the things we are trying to do now:

* Improve quality of releases and in particular avoid update regressions
* Have a consistent update policy
* Avoid release slips
* Launch Fedora Insight
* Determine governance changes via discussions online and FAD
* Redesign Fedora websites to be more appealing
