Article about Fedora The Hat?

You know, the thing that people cover their hat with? Where's that article? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedora_hat —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.195.216.222 (talk) 19:06, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

That's a good point. The article on the hat is at Fedora. However, the Fedora hat is also the symbol of the fedora operating system. Should Fedora hat be made into a dab page, or would that be too frivolous? Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 19:15, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

No, the fedora hat is not the symbol of the Fedora operating system. It is the symbol of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and because of copyright reasons, cannot be used by the Fedora operating system. The artwork guidelines of Fedora explicitly forbid any depiction of hats, especially fedoras. 194.100.223.164 (talk) 11:07, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Plymouth Technical Issues - Notable-ish?

This is probably going to be shot down as non-notable as not many people have this issue, but when plymouth is used on certain graphics, it gives a horrendous grunge screen that looks like it is breaking your screen. It ONLY happens with plymouth, and can be triggered in various ways (IE: resolution changing when logged in.) When using no bootloader or usplash, this issue does not happen. And unfortunately, ubuntu 10.04 (which uses plymouth) is also plauged with the issue. picture. This picture shows it happening on an IBM T41 ThinkPad, which boasts the ATI FireGL 7500-9000. 71.87.112.249 (talk) 07:17, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

RedHat Beta?

I am under the impression of Fedora is used as a playground or test/beta distro for RedHat, and I think this should be noted in the article. Does anyone else have opinoins on this? Rkarlsba (talk) 16:47, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

• People can have such opinions, but they're useless for Wikipedia's purpose unless sourced. The official stance is that Fedora is a rapidly evolving distro, but it is not a "testbed" for Red Hat and is stable for production.[1] --59.95.97.116 (talk) 14:16, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Active and Unactive Derivatives

I edited part of the article so that there is becomes more usable because there are lot of unactive Fedora derivatives that are now separated from active Fedora derivatives. Do I need to format it in some other way? --Valent (talk) 09:18, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
