Some review of Fedora 7. First, eWeek concludes: "We were impressed to see how amenable to customization this popular Linux-based operating system has grown." Linux.com also reviews Fedora 7. "Fedora 7 was released last week, a little bit behind schedule, with a spate of new features, updates, and live CD installable "spins" of Fedora in KDE and GNOME flavors. I found a lot of good in this release, but a bug in the FireWire stack that attacked my external backup drive made this release just a little shy of perfect." Update: Two more Fedora articles, a review and a news article.

Those who run Fedora are the same as those who would run OpenSuSE
I don't know if I agree with that. Fedora is not recommended for production use. Suse has more of a stable reputation. You are right that everyone use whatever they want but it pays to consider what that distro was intended for carefully.

Just to be clear, one guy is talking about OpenSUSE, and you are talking about SuSE, bearing in mind, I don't think those are the same thingm or is it a RedHat, CentOS relationship?

You could ask that about OpenSuSE or Debian; who its for is up to the individual to decide. Its like "oooh, this is a server operating system" - there are no fixed roles, you can use any operating system for anything you want.
Those who run Fedora are the same as those who would run OpenSuSE; if people really needed to have ultra-stability, they would go out and use/purchase an 'enterprise' based distribution - but with that comes the issue of whether you want the latest software or whether you want stability; the most up to date the software, the greater the risk for bugs and compatibility issues.
