"I'll have to disagree with that. As a linux user and administrator I can't see what so many
people see in this distribution."

Then you haven't paid attention at all. Red Hat is the leading contribution to the Linux kernel among various other projects.

What's new in just Fedora 9?

There are tons of new features in there found nowhere else.

"To begin with the installation, it seems absurd to me a DVD or a {5,6}
cds installation system if everybody knows that a full system upgrade
is necesary after a fresh install"

Ha. Just because you are short sighted doesnt mean that there is no use for it. If I am on a low bandwidth connection, getting a DVD from a friend or online store with more packages benefits me more. A installation live cd is also provided so you have no excuse to complain about

None of your other whining is even specific enough to answer so I wont bother.
