“I really did like Fedora 13. I liked it enough to solve more
than a handful of problems. I liked it enough to use a proprietary
graphics driver for the first time (didn’t like that; not only was
it outside the package-management system and hard to update, it
didn’t perform so well either).

“I love the Fedora community, the openness that’s everywhere,
the lack of pretense. I liked being on the edge when it came to my
favorite Unix/Linux application of the moment, gThumb, which is
under heavy development and always available in the latest version
days after the upstream release. Fedora 13 looked great. Especially
the Xfce spin I chose to run for more than a few months of heavy
use. I have nothing but good things to say about Xfce, especially
as it was implemented in Fedora. Great file manager (Thunar) that I
still like better than just about everything else out there,
excellent helper apps all around. Super fast. Stable.”
