I agree with David. While I am sure that we can fix every bit of the distribution and documentation to refer to "Fedora Linux", I don't think there is a way to change people to refer in colloquial language to Fedora, the operating system, as a Fedora Linux. I'll certainly keep using sentences

I'm +1 on "Fedora Linux". I believe it adds clarity, especially when talking with software vendors. IE, "I'm running Fedora Linux" is less ambiguous than having to explain that Fedora is Linux after telling your ISP's support, etc., "I'm running Fedora." __
