The Feodra team has posted a set of 28 features for the upcoming Fedora 7 release, of which the biggest is this: "Starting with Fedora 7, there is no more Core, and no more Extras; there is only Fedora. One single repository, built in the community on open source tools, assembled into whatever spins the Fedora community desires."

I was just testing out Fedora Core 6 not too long ago and they still seem to prefer using the crappy Redhat Network configuration program. Well, ok maybe it's just crappy in my opinion, but in my eyes the Network configuration in the stock Gnome-system-tools is much easier to configure, not to mention it actually worked when I set a Static IP address. For some reason when I set my typical static IP, it wouldn't resolve DNS even though I had my DNS servers set correctly.
I know that the Redhat Network utility was around before the Gnome-System-Tools, but Fedora Core didn't even have the system tools packaged for it!
I did go back to Ubuntu afterwards. I guess in the beginning when I was trying all the distributions (1996-1997 era) I had already chosen Debian, so I've learned that system well. So in that respect, I think RPM distributions usually feel very different to me, almost like they're more geeky than even standard Debian.
But I did always think that Fedora Core had a more stock Gnome, but I guess I was wrong. I do really like the Authentication module though, it makes it much easier to connect up to ldap / active directory servers, and really is one thing that is missing in Debian / Ubuntu.
