Nice.

Comedy aside of course, I find this section to be a large leap of logic:

"However, only Fedora Core supports non core OS products,
such as image manipulation programs. As such, Fedora Core is more
likely to be updated than Windows systems."

Suggest instead:

"However, only Fedora Core supports both the OS and add-on packages,
such as image manipulation programs, with a single patch system. Additionally, since the Fedora Core packages are open source, users will not be forced to locate Disk 1 in order to complete the patch process. Therefore, Fedora Core systems are more likely to be updated than Windows systems."

That's my bit of drive-by editing for the night.
