The goal to use Fedora Core as general purpose OS is achieved. It is amazing that a young distro is succesful in its early year.

Job Well-done. A decision I could only think would be made on the numerous strengths of the Fedora Project. Its good to here of such a move, and I’m sure will only benefit the out come of future well built Core’s.

I would not go that far although it is definetly a great thing to see the "stable" form of our beloved distro of choice being used by such a great site.
