=== Fedora Linux 18 Set to Redefine the Initial User Experience ===
=== The 5 most popular Linux distributions ===

"...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."


"One of the major new features that is set for inclusion in Fedora 18 is something called 'Initial Experience.' The basic idea is to enable new users to have a fully functional desktop out of the box in a very seamless manner. This new Initial Experience will also give users a tour of GNOME 3 so they will know what's what."

"This move is mainly aimed to make the installation of Fedora hassle free. It will also provide a smoother initial experience for new users of the Fedora desktop and let them configure essential parts of GNOME so that they have a fully functional desktop after going through the initial setup."
"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."

There are also benchmarks comparing the ARM Linux performance."
