-The Fedora project has released Fedora 23
+After a slight, week-long delay to fix some last minute bugs, the Fedora project has released Fedora 23. The latest version of Fedora is a significant update thanks to upstream projects like GNOME, which is now at 3.18, as well as some signficant new features from Fedora itself.
 
+Like it's precessor, Fedora 23 comes in three base configurations -- Workstation, Server and Cloud. The former is the desktop release and the primary basis for my testing, though I also tested out the Server release this time around.

-"    Fedora 23 Server gains a new role via the rolekit service in the form of a cache server for web applications, powered by memcached, bringing the total number of roles to three alongside the database server and domain controller roles. Additional tweaks and upgrades include the ability to use rolekit from the anaconda kickstart, a cluster dashboard for Kubernetes and support for SSH key authentication.
-    Fedora 23 Workstation brings a preview of GNOME 3.18 as well as changes to the Software application (allowing it to update firmware) and Wayland, with the latter enhancements aimed at helping to make Wayland the default graphic server for future releases.
-    Fedora 23 Cloud does not have any obvious improvements, but enhancements continue to deliver a more secure and flexible image for cloud-based deployments. Additionally, Fedora 23 Cloud is expected to power the forthcoming Fedora Atomic Host which is anticipated to have a two-week release cadence moving forward. "

-## Installation
+The default Fedora 23 live CD will install the GNOME desktop though there are plenty spins available if you prefer something else. I opted for GNOME since a lot of what's new in GNOME, like much improved Wayland support is currently only really available through Fedora.
 
-I have been hard on Fedora's Anaconda remake in the past. I am slowly coming around. The experience in Fedora 23 is hard to beat, particularly the way you don't need to visit sections if Fedora has guessed something right. For example, Anaconda correctly guest my timezone so I can just skip that panel without even needing to click okay.

For example, Anaconda correctly guest my timezone so I can just skip that panel without even needing to click okay. It's a small thing, but it helps set a certain tone of feature completeness right from the start. 
 
-I still think the button-based approach can be sometimes make it hard to figure out what you've missed if it's your first time through the installer. But it's a little clearer in Fedora 23 because there's an additional orange bar across the bottom to tell you about whatever you missed.  The other gripe I have is the banner images at the bottom. They look like ads -- they look cheap and out of place.

-What's perhaps most encouraging about Anaconda is that Fedora continues to refining it. Having just installed and tested Ubuntu and openSUSE, I wouldn't hesitate to say Anaconda is a better experience. It's certainly faster thanks to the amount of stuff you can simply ignore.
