"Firstly, kudos to the Fedora team for continuing to reduce their dependency on Mono! Fedora 12 implemented the beautiful Gnote in place

of Tomboy, and with 13 they replaced F-Spot with Shotwell. I have to admit I’d never heard of the Vala language until I read up about
Shotwell, it looks really interesting and the perfect antidote to Mono which has always made me feel uneasy. Could Gnome finally be able to
compete with KDE and Qt in this regard now?


And of course I’m delighted that a fully featured Python 3.0 stack is now available in the default install! Granted my primary Python haunt is Django, but my personal scripts have been running on 3.0 on my Mac for a long while now, so it’ll be great to port them over."

"The clock is starting to tick down on the Fedora Linux release with the feature freeze now in place. As such, now is as good a time as any to take a look at some of the new features that are likely to land when Fedora 18 goes live at the end of the year."

Rahul Sundaram forwarded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-June/012992.html</ref> another review of Fedora 13:
 
"Fedora 13 is especially a turning point in terms of installation method. The BFO project allows you to download an ISO  of smaller size
and launching an installation via Internet. This is undoubtedly one of the most demanding features. The choice of default applications seems
also far more consistent than Ubuntu. For example Pino instead of Gwibber (which is much easier to use) Shotwell instead of Gthumb and Fspot.


In short, Fedora 13 leaves once again a good impression. For professionals, has better performance than other popular distributions
"At a go/no-go meeting of the Fedora QA Team, the developers decided to postpone the release of the first Fedora 18 alpha by a week. The team unanimously voted to not go forward with the release because of the relatively large number of blocker bugs that are still unresolved."
and for home users Ubuntu or Linux Mint which are perhaps more intuitive to begin working with Linux. Only regret, too long and unworthy startup time of a modern Linux distribution. But in the world of Linux, personal taste matters more."
