The best slogans are calls to action. Can we agree to concentrate not
on descriptions of Fedora for a slogan, but calls to action, with an
active verb?
"Freedom to rock out": Not such a good slogan. There's no call to
action, just a description of what the product provides.
"Rock out": Better, and makes the consumer feel like they're being
empowered by the product.

There you go! :-) Now *all* the slogans should do that.

I keep coming back to
"Innovate, Liberate."
But it reminds me of a song... :)

my suggestion:
"Spread it". 'It' can be Fedora,freedom,etc.

Ok then. Based on slogans already mentioned and because of the name of
Fedora 11 I would go for something like, "empower freedom" (calling
consumers to participate and also bonds well with Leonidas, a person of
great power) or "achieve innovation".

On that note, it would be cool if the DVD/CD cover art had Μολών λαβέ
("Come and get them!"), which Leonidas famously uttered.

This is why Pierros Papadeas proposed his slogan (the 3rd one on the
list here[1]).
I believe it could also be expressed like "Fedora 11 "Leonidas" : come
and use it" or something like that...

"Come and get it" is really close in meaning, and well understood too.
