[[User:gent|Gent Thaçi]] forwarded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2011-July/013991.html</ref> a few links for recent articles about the Fedora Project from PCWorld Albanian:
"...Fedora clearly has its fans. And, if you work on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) development, it's a really wise idea to keep a copy of Fedora on hand so you can see RHEL's future."

PCWorld Albanian is a famous Albanian magazine published monthly and they
also have their blog online, some of the articles were also printed on the
magazine and they always gave a big support for our activities in Kosovo.

=== Xen lets KVM overtake ===
 
[[User:Rahul|Rahul Sundaram]] forwarded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2011-July/013990.html</ref>:
 
"Xen made virtualisation a popular issue on Linux servers and seemed for
a long time to be the open source virtualisation technology of choice.
But the Xen developers lost that advantage by setting the wrong
priorities. KVM was able to take over some key positions and, with a
large number of promoters, is now in a better position."

=== Fedora 15 KDE ===
 
[[User:Rahul|Rahul Sundaram]] forwarded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2011-July/013989.html</ref>:
 
"Overall I think Fedora 15 KDE is a very attractive desktop distro. It comes with a good selection of software and an attractive & highly usable version of KDE. There’s not a lot here to complain about and there’s quite a bit to be happy about. I suspect that Fedora 15 KDE will be one of the distros that wins over wavering GNOME & Unity users.
 
Fedora 15 KDE is suitable for beginner, intermediate or advanced Linux users."

"Fedora has long been touted as being one of the most professional, stable, cutting-edge distros out there, and seeing as though its latest version brings GNOME 3 along for the ride, I couldn't help but download and install it. I've since used Fedora 15 for an entire month, so read on as I take a look at this release from all angles."

"Some folks might be unaware though that Fedora comes in a number of different versions; each designed to appeal to a particular audience. Yes, it’s true. Fedora has many faces and here’s a brief look at each of them for those who might be interested in taking another look at this fine desktop distribution."

"After looking around for a good introduction video to GNOME 3 I found this one. It is the best one I've found so far. Unfortunately it seems to only be available in Flash format. Since Fedora 15 was one of the first distros to ship GNOME 3, it also covers Fedora some. Enjoy."
