With the release of FC7, IS Fedora Project Going to finally shove GNOME down our throat? This is how the three break downs on their site are shown. 1. A Fedora Desktop spin (This is the main fedora desktop (GNOME) 2. A Fedora Server spin (Fedora Server) 3. A Fedora KDE spin (This is a separate disk or network install, I have not figured it out yet.) At the install the "KDE Enviorment" does not show up at "Customize section" In reality it appears that the main Desktop install won't have KDE, it will be a separate download. I really feel that the Redhat Developers want to get rid of KDE. If I'am wrong please correct me, I have been a RedHat/Fedora user ever since RedHat-5.2 and I'm not really happy with what I see. Not much emphasis put on KDE and slowly faze it out. If I'm wrong guys, please get me straighten out, I just feel we are getting the $MS shaft.
Oh don't be such a drama queen. Firstly, Fedora has always had Gnome as its default desktop. The idea of the different "spins" is related to the merge of Core and Extras and will mean that you will merely not have to download stuff you're not going to use. So you, as a KDE user, don't have to download the isos with all the Gnome stuff on there, and vice versa. Secondly, there have been _long_ threads on the devel list regarding this - please read them before spreading FUD here. And cut the scaremongering M$ crap please. Fedora is a _community_ led distro - if you want KDE, then contribute to its maintainance.
