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.

It is NOT enabled by default, which is what is important.
I never said it was, however I should have included another comma.
It is shipped, and ready to be enabled, by default.
I.E. You install the machine, and it is ready to be enabled, you don't have to go through the config files, or pull in additional binaries. Fedora folken felt it was stable enough to be put in that position.
When you try to turn it on, it even warns you that Compiz is unstable.
I don't remember seeing this message at all when I've gone to enable compiz. Which of course does not mean there is no message, but may suggest it's not the most obvious.
It also pops up a dialog after you turn it on asking you if you want to keep settings in case something didn't work.
Yes, it does, however this guy said nothing about like "Fedora sucks monkey nuts, I went to enable compiz and my screen went all funny, man it is so shit, they even knew it was shit, that is why the offered the option to revert to previous setting, that is how shit they are".
No he said, when playing chess with compiz enabled on exiting, X crashed.
That is very much different. Your vitriol is targetless.
If you can't handle that, then just go back to Windows. Linux requires some degree of non-idiocy.
I wish there was some way to filter agressive/ bitter people from the keyboard, before their crap even makes it to the net.
I am a strong proponent of Fedora, and open source in general.
