I really hope you guys can take a step back and look at what is being written
from the point of view of an outside observer. Nobody in this thread can
agree. How do you expect a new user to not be confused.

Personally I would prefer:
"product=Fedora"
Labeling the installation media, Desktop, Server, etc. Just confuse a noob
into thinking that they install one thing and they would be limited like
they would be if they installed a Microsoft product (ie: Server, Home
Editon, Professional Edition, Ultimate Edition.)
It's one of the things that I can't stand about Windows and love about
Linux. With Windows the build denotes limitations of one kind of another.
With Linux, I get a distro and I can build from it what I want. I want a
desktop, I get a desktop.... What desktop... my choice.. Gnome, Kde, etc. I
choose KDE :). I want a server, I install servers. Want both, go ahead. You
are installing Linux you can do what you want. The "product" is Fedora's
Distribution of Linux.
I know that nobody will agree... But thats OK... Thats just my 2 cents
worth.
