Review of Fedora 13 on my ThinkPad thingy (rubenerd.com)
Rahul Sundaram forwarded[2] a posting from a blog from 2010-06-04:
"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."

Fedora 13 review (linuxbsdos.com)
Rahul Sundaram forwarded[1] user highlights with screenshots on Fedora 13:
"Fedora 13 is a very stable update. If you want to play with advanced features that are not available on other distributions, such as installing to Storage Area Networks (SANs) or disks attached to mainframes, then you should give it a try."
