=== Fedora 17 & GNOME 3.4: Return to a useful Linux desktop ===
=== Why Fedora 18 Will Be The Practical Choice For Vanilla Enthusiasts ===
 
In a brief ZDNet review, Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols offers faint praise for Fedora 17:


"GNOME 3.2, which was Fedora 16’s desktop, was dreadful. You don’t have to trust me on that though, just ask Linus Torvalds, Linux’s founder. He hated GNOME 3.2.
Arnav Kalra posted <ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2012-August/014486.html</ref>:


"That was then. This is now. Fedora 17, with the ungainly name Beefy Miracle-no I’m not making that up, that really is its name-is now in late beta and it’s much better than it was."
"Fedora 18 (Spherical Cow) and future releases — along with RHEL 7 and future CentOS releases — will be the best way to enjoy a vanilla Gnome 3 experience."
