"There has been a long standing rumor regarding NASA running Fedora which all of us in the Fedora community have been always intrigued by. Is it true? What are they doing with it there? Why don't they run RHEL. Fortunately enough, a couple of weeks ago, I got to experience NASA behind the scenes, first hand, and hang out with the coolest members of the Fedora community, and find out the answer to these questions and lots more."

I thought at NASA they were all Solaris OS fanatics but seems that I am wrong.
Why do they use Fedorz? Becuase there is more tech support or because it has some special feature that we do not know????
Why don't they use *BSD or Ubuntu? Slackware?
Thanks.

how much of a userbase does BSD have?.. not much, how much does Slackware have?. not much to warrant NASA using those, why they dont use Ubuntu, i dont know, prolly cause its unstable

Fedora is not only Fedora :-)
It's RHEL : http://www.redhat.com/rhel/
You know it, the "Red Hat, the world’s leading open source solutions provider"
It's Centos (RHEL clone) :
http://www.centos.org/
It's JBoss :
http://labs.jboss.com/
It's innovation like the new Ovirt or FreeIPA :
http://freeipa.org/
http://ovirt.org/
etc.
Fedora is about innovation. Like NASA I suppose. Fedora does not aim to be the desktop for the mass.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Objectives
Fedora is about the rapid progress of Free, Open Source software and content.
