Fedora Core 6 released too
by Kevin Kofler on Thursday 26/Oct/2006, @15:21

| Hey, why is this newsworthy and FC6 is not? Fedora also includes KDE! Fedora Core 6 has been released with KDE 3.5.4, but 3.5.5 is being prepared for FC5 and FC6 updates, so we Fedora users will have it soon too. (And unlike Kubuntu, we actually get the new versions as updates, 3.5.5 is going even to FC5.) |

Both are newsworthy. It's just that the people who post to the dot are volunteers, and no one posted anything about fedora. But you can try to...

Or it's because the main Kubuntu developer is a dot editor...

No, it's because somebody from the Kubuntu team (not Jonathan) posted an initial story that was not just a copy from the official announcement and outlined things specifically relevant to KDE. That's the kind of posts that get accepted the fastest, simply because reworking entire announcements takes a lot of time to reedit. It's really that simple.

thats 4 sure teh reason why kubuntu gets that much place to spread their shit..
whether ubuntu nor redhat want support kde.. so why give them this place?
kde on fedora/kubuntu is just disappointing, i dont kno about suse, but i m sure that new kde menu in suse is not what an usual kde user wants to see..
i d be happy if there was a pure kde distribution, i dont want OOooOooo nor IceWeaselBeaselFoxOnFirePowerXPRebrand31337
bigger customizings/rebrandings should be done by the original developpers otherwise we get just broken builds (debian/ubuntu repos are full of them)
making kde look like gnome and removing kde-features, breaking the genius localization in kde is what they ve done..
ok?

Perhaps simply because nobody submitted a story about FC6?
Kubuntu had a very strong presence at this year's Akademy and I think there are a lot of KDE people following it closely.
But heck, if Fedora have done something cool with KDE then please tell the world :)

By the way, I haven't given up on packaging KDE 4 snapshots for Fedora yet, I have just been busy. I'll let you know when we get these up. :-)

Because Kubuntu is explicitly KDE-centric. Fedora Core isn't.
Mind, it's very cool that FC supports KDE and I'm sure their developers did a great job with this release. It's just that this site is about KDE *itself*. I have no doubt you love FC, and that's all fine and dandy; but are you certain that the release of any distribution, however great, where KDE is only optional, is newsworthy on a KDE site?
If they made KDE the default, then alright, that's newsworthy and I'm wrong. I just heard of no such thing as of yet.
