I personally would prefer "product=Workstation, desktop=KDE" (or
whatever).
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.
IOW make the specific desktop orthogonal to the selection of
Workstation. The default can keep being Gnome if it makes some people
happy.
Clearly either of these means more work for someone.
