People often ask me questions about Linux and the other day someone wanted to know what I thought the difference was between Ubuntu and Fedora, essentially.
In a recent interview, Paul Frields (Fedora Project Leader) said:
A lot of people jump to the conclusion that, because there’s some polish [in Fedora 12] that we’re trying to appeal to the Joe Average kind of user, but the more correct way of saying it is that we want a distribution that works really well for our community members. We’re building a community of contributors, as opposed to a community of consumers.
I think that says a lot about the Fedora project.
