New purple and grey theme, buttons on the left, an integrated music store and social networking built-in? Sounds like they are pursuing the Apple fanbase pretty hard to me. Thanks, but I'll stick with Fedora.

Especially the hardware acceleration for 3D. Nouvea already works wonderfully for everything else. If I can play Urban Terror with it, I'll be a happy man.

Fedora. It doesn't include Mono, has a normal Firefox and is much better than Ubuntu in most ways I can think of. Plus Red Hat is committed to Open Source while Canonical isn't.

As far as I know, Fedora is the first distro to use it by default. I'm really impressed with the progress they've made. Plymouth is quick, pretty and flicker free. I'm also using Xfce's built in compositing and everything is snappy looking. 2D games and videos work great.

Why does this article have a Debian graphic? Sugar OS is based off Fedora and Xtra Ordinary is a totally separate project.

How do I point my pirated copy of RHEL toward the CentOS repos so I can update?

Seeing as how CentOS isn't ready yet, they undoubtedly don't have repos set up yet. And when they do, you might as well use CentOS itself.

The scalability of the Red Hat virtualization solution has been incremented to support 192 CPUs and 1GB hugepages.

Here.

Yes, I know an enterprise solution needs good virtualisation more than flash, it's still funny.

I don't get this comic...I have seamless fullscreen flash (Fedora 11, Firefox 3.5, Flash 10, 64-bit). Do other Linux users seriously not have this???

Now anyone can conduct highly inaccurate bench-marking tests and publish the results every few months!

Don't forget Kubuntu! It's got KDE 4.2 now!

Great! But Fedora has had KDE 4.2 since February.
