Fedora release cycles: longer or shorter?Fedora release cycles: longer or shorter?Posted Nov 13, 2008 11:23 UTC (Thu) by eru (subscriber, #2753)In reply to: Fedora release cycles: longer or shorter? by bojan Parent article: Fedora release cycles: longer or shorter? Anyone that has a clue will know where the stuff is coming from... Unfortunately, that means the set of people who knows is rather small :-(. I don't know how, but somehow Ubuntu has managed to publicize itself so well that outsiders could be forgiven for thinking Ubuntu invented desktop Linux. Fedora really should "advertise" its achievements a bit more.

Those two categories are the people that need to be impressed; the others are just unimportant - or even a burden. I don't mean that making linux usable by Aunt Tillie is a bad idea - but it isn't a big deal if Aunt Tillie chooses some other distribution either.

I think the problem on this is that a huge amount of "people who matter" usually choose what they are familiar with.
See Wikipedia example, for instance. I think the problem here is not Aunt Tillie but young Bob...
In my experience, I have seen some, let say, "enterprise" decisions about which distribution to use, only based in people's past experiences. And it is reasonable also, they are not looking for the best solution, they look for a solution that fit their needs.
