=== First look: Fedora 13 from Red Hat (PC World) ===
 
Kara Schlitz forwarded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-June/012970.html</ref> an article from PC World from 2010-06-01:
 
"It seems like a million moons ago that Red Hat announced the demise
of Red Hat Linux in favor of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and embraced the
Fedora project as the testing ground for its commercial releases. Last
week marked the 13th Fedora release<ref>http://www.pcworld.com/article/196662/fedora_13_linux_its_five_best_features.html</ref> in nearly seven years, so the new paradigm must be working well, even though the Linux landscape is vastly different now."

=== Fedora linux 13 “goddard” mini review (techenclave) ===
 
Rahul Sundaram forwarded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-May/012969.html</ref> a short review on Fedora 13, with screenshots. :
 
"I rather like Fedora 13 because it was pretty stable and I found it to
be faster than Ubuntu. All my laptop hardware including my Wifi and
webcam were supported by default and there were no crashes and bugs or
random system freezes which I experienced with Ubuntu 10.04. Fedora 13
is suitable for beginners, intermediate users as well as experienced
users. I prefer it over Ubuntu. It is worth installing as a primary
operating system or upgrading. Do try it out. As an operating system,
Fedora 13 Linux, “Goodard”, is rock solid and stable and moreover its
free. What more can anyone ask for?"

=== Red Hat: Fedora project has no plans to support Xen again (Network World) ===
 
Jonathan Nalley forwarded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-May/012963.html</ref> an update regarding future support of Xen in Fedora:
 
"Red Hat has officially gone on record to say that it is not involved in any projects that add Xen support back to Fedora and has no plans
to be. Indeed, the spokesperson said that one such 'experimental' project was based on a forked Linux kernal 'with no support from
Fedora.'
 
...
 
As a reader pointed out, since this is open source, if you want better support for Xen on Fedora, you are free to built it yourself. But
here's hoping that Xen.org, or the users at Fedorapeople.org are willing to lend a hand."

Jonathan Nalley forwarded <ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-May/012955.html</ref> an article from Drivers HeadQuarters on Fedora 13:
 
"The newest release of the Fedora operating system - codenamed Goddard- includes several enhancements including automatic printing and open
source drivers.

Ars Technica says the new system also includes significant improvements in simplifying the operating system's installer. The site

re-installation."

=== Why Fedora 18 Will Be The Practical Choice For Vanilla Enthusiasts ===
 
Jonathan Nalley forwarded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-May/012954.html</ref> an Australian review of Fedora 13, including:


"All platforms: The Fedora Desktop Project rolled out its lucky number 13 release, adding a few nifty features to the Linux system.

Plug-and-go printer support, open drivers for Intel, ATI, and NVidia hardware, and a crafty new desktop shell to try out.


The automatic printing and experimental GNOME Shell support are neat in themselves, but what about “open” 3D drivers? If you’ve ever had to

operating system doesn’t have real control over it. Setting up things like dual monitors is a true headache with proprietary drivers, so the

Fedora 13 is a free download, and should work on most Intel and PowerPC-based systems. Read the release notes for an overview of the
