A week ago, the Fedora Project released Fedora 9 into the world. Fedora 9 comes with GNOME 2.22, KDE 4.0.3, Xfce 4.2.2, PackageKit, Firefox 3.0 beta 5, a 2.6.25-based Linux kernel, and much more. As always, the intertubes have been flooded with reviews, so we figured we would summarise a few of them.

Fedora has a single repository where everybody contributes which is very much unlike Ubuntu which splits supported/non-supported/non-free etc into different repositories and different from Debian (no non-free repository) too. Not sure what you were referring to there.
The success of distributions is the ability to cross polinate technology and concepts however others distributions have taken so much of the technology from Fedora that is not very well known but a recent list would include:
* NetworkManager
* PulseAudio
* SELinux tools
* IcedTea
* Virt-manager, libvirt etc
* system-config-printer
This is in addition to HAL, D-Bus etc. A more comprehensive list would be
