"Fedora Core 6 was released on October 24, 2006 and scheduled to come out a half-year later is the seventh major release for the Fedora Project. However, unlike Yarrow, Tettnang, Heidelberg, Stentz, Bordeaux, and Zod, Fedora 7 is shaping up to be the most ambitious release yet. With all the work and reform going into Fedora 7 it poses the question, will Fedora 7 be Linux's knight in shining armor?"

Bah. I've used Fedora on my Linux desktops for years now and it's treated us right nice. And by desktops I mean the workstations the researchers and I use at my workplace. In fact I've even had it on a number of nfs servers every now and again, and also had a home grown openmosix cluster based on Fedora going at one point. Granted I very much prefer CentOS on my servers these days, but Fedora is far from the bug laden junk you're making it out to be. And sure I wouldn't go throwing a Fedora release into production the same day it's out (aside from on my own desktop machine perhaps, but for that matter I'm not going to put vista into production any time soon either.), but that doesn't make Fedora worthless.
And as for Fedora damaging desktop Linux, in what way I ask? If people are competent enough to throw Fedora on their system in the first place then I doubt they're going to stick with it for years and years. And if someone else is throwing it on their system then again I doubt they're going to be sticking with Fedora for years and years. I mean, sure, Fedora moves a bit fast. But to me, that's a good thing. Especially as far as a desktop OS goes. Fedora just keeps getting better and better.
But then all this is just my opinion, so take it for what it's worth.
