Fedora 13 gives off plain vibe, but offers power and stability under the hood

,----[ Quote ]
| The differences between Linux distributions 
| these days are often so minute, there seems 
| little reason to even review them anymore.
| 
| After all, one distro running GNOME 2.30 or 
| KDE 4.4 is going to look very much like any 
| other distro running the same interfaces. The 
| interfaces will be nearly identical -- all 
| that remains different are underlying 
| administration tools and a few variant 
| choices on the apps that are included.
| 
| That was the conundrum recently faced when 
| turning to review the latest beta of Fedora 
| 13: it looked so much like other GNOME 2.30-
| interfaced distros I have seen lately, the 
| initial thought was "what's the diff?"
| 
| Such an attitude is, for the most part, not 
| fair to the developers of the Fedora Project, 
| who have put together a darn fine 
| distribution that reads as rock-solid and 
| very user-friendly.
