Fedora 7 is a first class distro that demonstrates solid progress in improving the user experience, easing the move to virtualization and enabling the user to create their own custom spins with open source build tools, says this review. The same site had the opportunity to sit down face-to-face with Max Spevack, chairman of the Fedora project, at the Red Hat Summit in San Diego to talk about all things Fedora - the merger of Fedora Core and Extras, Fedora 7, and the road ahead.

Should have tried CentOS coming from RHEL. I knew it wouldnt take long for Ubuntu to come up. Not to discredit it AT ALL,its a great distro and anyone who says otherwise is lying to themselves, but I will agree with the point he made about fanboys. Often time with passionate crowds, fanboys lead the charge. Ubuntu has a much more "vocal" community than most distros which tend to be a little reserved.
Distrowatch can be very misleading as well, i think there was even a group accused of manipulating the numbers at one point. They just count the number of clicks for a distro. So its more of a guage of new users and queries, not so much current users. I doubt very serious CentOS users or say Debian users, have any reason to go to Distrowatch and click on their distro for the latest news, they already know whats going on!!!
Nonetheless, I am very much a distro whore, and I have test machines I rotate with new distros. Fedora 7 is one of the most polished & complete distros available, and definately the best Fedora camp release to date. But the same can be said for OpenSUSE 10.2 / Debian Etch / and Ubuntu 7.04...I urge people to try to find the distro that best fits their needs, and let go of all the zealotry and my distro is better than yours type crap...it's all old and most doesn't apply anymore.
