Let's keep our own labels correct. This article doesn't appear to be FUD
(which is by definition a malicious underhanded tactic) but rather an honest
but somewhat ill-informed review.
fedora because of this. Its hard enough facing other OS FUD let
alone
facing it from inside. I'm assuming that its a fine line between honest
criticism and actual misinformation.
Sure -- and both of those things are still on this side of the big line
marked "FUD". :)
IMO as well is that articles like this need to be dealt with in some
way
by the 'marketing' group so that as a group we can progress towards people
knowing exactly what fedora is and isn't. The long term users understand,
It's also important that articles like this are "dealt with" not just by
"correcting" the reviewer -- it's also important to take a honest look at
any *real* problems that are exposed, even if the complaint doesn't feel
fair at first to an insider. For example, the gripe about OpenOffice warning
that it's a beta version with no obvious explanation.....
