I think I see a trend here... you may be placing too much emphasis on Fedora leadership (and "promises"), when in fact, much (most!) of the work/support
here needs to happen in the *community*.

I generally agree with this, but it is a little bit more complex when the reins are held by, and the agenda controlled by, a benign (generous even) but motivated-in-specific ways Redhat. There's no evil there but it makes for a slightly curious psychological tension in the project.

Personally I prefer Gnome, but then that is my choice. One thing I like about Linux when compared to that other operating system is one does have choices. My feeling is the core of Fedora at 5 cd's is getting a little out of hand; if I may make a suggestion in this area why not reduce the core to a true minimum needed to intiate an installation and create bundles of extras on various particular themes such as the KDE extras bundle. This way after I have downloaded the mandatory core I could select the various extra bundles that contain other ares I am interested in. As things are now I am just installing desktops, I don't need the server options. If I had the option to not download server applications I would save on band width when downloading the iso's, if at a later date I find I need to install servers I could always download the "server extras" or which ever ones I have chosen to not install at this time.
