same as 1000's of other linux distro .. not a big deal ( distinction )

whoppie ...
but better still, fedora is the worst distro in the lst few years
morphing from rh-9 -> fc-1 -> fc-2 -> fc-3 in the period of 1.5 years
or so ??
it's one of a few distro i would NOT recommend for anything that requires
24x7 hands off operations ( low TCO as most corps seem to want )
issues to go over before deciding which is better:
- ez or hard to install your desired system
- free or paid versions
- pre-tested security updates
- current versions supported by the GPL authors/teams
- add additional apps as desired
- harden as desired
- mailing list support
- paid or free tech support from independent 3rd parties
- "proper/accurate" documentation, howtos
- reliability
- minor distro tweeks or heavy distro tweeks/modifications
- [in]stability of "major versions"
- upgrade path, backward compatibility path
- ...
