I test out a lot of Linux distros and Fedora isn't really on my top 10 list, I'm more of a Solaris/Gentoo guy.
I was first introduced to Fedora with Core 4 and found it to be a tad on the slow side. I said I'll give it another chance when Core 5 came out. I then installed Core 5...eh same speal. I do however respect Fedora if your running it as a server since Fedora is basically RedHat. I'd give it a try and see how you like it since not everyone shares the same view on Linux distros. Unlike most Linux diehards, I'm open to new explorations all the time. That's the only way you learn.
