Fedora at a Glance (Linux Journal) [LWN.net]

Linux Journal takes a look at the Fedora Core 1 release. "In summary, there are some promising new features in Fedora and it is reassuring to see it has the stability and slick interface we've come to expect from Red Hat, but it is not quite as polished as some of the recent Red Hat releases. If you know Linux already and don't mind installing some extra packages and changing some settings, then it's for you. If you are new to Linux or want it to all work perfectly "out-of-the-box" with an automatic package resolver, you might be better off to wait for the next Fedora release."

If you are new to Linux or want it to all work perfectly "out-of-the-box" with an automatic package resolver, you might be better off to wait for the next Fedora release."

Or, you may want to try Knoppix, SuSE, or Mandrake - all of whom are already user friendly and have been offering all of these facilities for some time.
