Thanks for the links.

It is apparent from reading all these great howdy-dos to my post, that 
there is a great difference of opinion on exactly what Fedora is.

As I said, it will be interesting to see what goes on here.  I got 86

that is angrily defensive over assumptions that simply are not true.

I think this list is very likely a zoo, but I will keep an open mind.
