    That's because we Fedora users don't need no steenkeen Slashdot announcement. But for everyone else, it does get announced on Slashdot.

    Fedora: One release a year. Ubuntu: Releases every six months or so; hence why the extra press.

    There doesn't seem to be much of a response to this article, which is unusual. There must be ... dozens of us using Ubuntu at this point. More seriously, how many try out the RCs? I generally jump on them if they have new major features, or fixes for any remaining problems I have with my machines. I only have one insignificant problem left on all of my machines and 10.10 doesn't have the upstream fix yet ,... so I'm waiting to the gold release.
