Fedora has always intrigued me to keep track of the
latest happenings in the Linux world and especially what's brewing at
the RHEL stable! Also, if I think of a comparable distro to Ubuntu,
Fedora is the only legitimate choice! Just like Ubuntu, Fedora also
inspires innumerable spins (like Kororaa, Fuduntu, of which I am a big
fan now!). So, when the release note
of Fedora came on 15th Jan, I was quick to download all the four
versions (Gnome, KDE, XFCE and LXDE). I have already covered the Gnome, KDE and XFCE spins in my earlier reviews. The final review is on one of my favorite desktop environments - the LXDE.

| From Fedora 18 |
My assessment is based on installation on
Asus K54C laptop with 2.2 Ghz Core i3 processor and 2 GB RAM and
experience of using it for the last 3 days. I downloaded the 32-bit
ISO (686 MB in size) for this testing. Fedora 18 has LXDE DE with
Linux kernel 3.6.10, which gets updated to 3.7.2 on first update.
With kernel 3.7.4 released, I guess within a couple of days, even
this will be upgraded as well. PCManFM 1.1.0 is the default file
browser and it is one of the lightest file browsers available in the
Linux world.
