I wrote a couple of articles against a beta version of Fedora 9 before I went on holiday. I did a run through against the final release of Fedora 9 today and they seem fine, so here they are:
The installation process doesn’t give you the option to turn off SELinux or the firewall. You can do it after the installation, so it’s just a small annoyance, but I don’t like it.
If you want to know my opinions on the distribution itself, read my post on Fedora 8. It’s six months later and there is still no visible sign of a direction for this distribution. I don’t think my opinion has changed.
Cheers

Just came across. On the review of Fedora 8, you have noted that Fedora comes on several cd’s instead of one but seems to have missed out that Fedora does provide multiple choices here.
1) Regular Installation DVD
2) Regular Installation CD’s.
3) Installable Live CD’s
4) Several custom variants at http://spins.fedoraproject.org
Also the live cd’s are more suitable for the desktop while the regular installations allow for more customization. Hope that helps.
