If that were the case then you would have to do much more work Ubuntu <-> Regular Fedora Kubuntu <-> Fedora with KDE Xbuntu <-> Fedora with XFCE Edubuntu <-> Fedora with Educational Software Ubuntu Christian Edition <-> Fedora For Christians Fluxbuntu <-> Fedora with Fluxbox window manager ..., et all Ubuntu Universe. There are too many choices for *buntu, so why do you want to compete. People are here because they like Fedora and why is everyone getting mad at someone else because they prefer cd images, ie. traditional cd images, disk 1, disk 2, disk 3, disk 4, ..., to what is currently being offered. Timothy is correct when he says this "It is not meant to be an obstacle race." If it were, look at how many distributions Fedora would have to make just to catch up. Fedora will always have its advantages and its disadvantages versus any linux distribution. The goal here should not be to condemn/humiliate users when they want something. Also users should not blackmail Fedora or threathen to change distributions. This is also not cool. Like some other people on this list have already mentioned, silently leave the premises and no hard feelings will be kept.
