Relax and be confident in your statements.

You will not always be well-received, so it helps if you are prepared to explain the facts of Fedora. In particular, look over the Fedora FAQ , the Talking Points , and the Ambassadors FAQ . Don't get scared if you can't answer every question. Don't hesitate to say "I don't know."

We aren't competing with other distributions.

We aren't trying to compete with other distributions for users. We are trying to provide a valuable platform, backed by a strong community, that presents the best in free and open source software. Keep in mind that users of other GNU/Linux distributions have many of the same goals as we do. Different distributions often work together or benefit from one another.

That said, we do want to be the best distribution we can be, and we can draw some distinctions between Fedora and other distributions. When you are out promoting Fedora, try to demonstrate the strengths of Fedora. Show how we are great. Don't try to play down other distributions. You're trying to make friends, and taking a negative attitude toward the distribution of the person or people you are talking to won't make you any friends.
