Hi

" As such, it looks like the most interesting delivery of the upcoming 
release season will be coming from the Fedora project. The developers 
have recently extended their testing cycle by a whole month to include a 
fourth test release and the extent of the new features and improvements 
in Fedora 7 seems lengthier than those in Ubuntu or Mandriva. The 
merging of Core and Extras packages into one massive software 
repository, dramatic improvements in boot speeds as well as the yum 
package management system, and a new single-CD method of installing 
Fedora from a live CD are all excellent improvements. While some of 
these features have been available in other distributions, it's nice to 
see that the Fedora development team is willing to learn and adopt 
successful technologies developed elsewhere. That, combined with their 
own innovations, should guarantee a highly interesting Fedora 7 in May 
this year"
