Fedora 13 DVD Player
It recognizes video DVDs and launches the media player, but it will not play. None of the major free Linux distributions include the ability to play DVDs because it is not possible to create a free open source decoder that does not potentially violate the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

Fedora 13 Internet Tools
The usual array of internet applications, including Firefox, and a bittorrent client for all those movies the MPAA so kindly won't let you view from DVD. It also now includes a Twitter client.

Fedora 13 Office Apps
OpenOffice is not included by default. The only included office applications are "Planner", a project management program, and the Evolution e-mail program.

Fedora 13 Software Repository
Like Ubuntu, Fedora has its own easy to use software repository with many free programs built specifically for Fedora 13.

Fedora 13 Updater
The software update utility included with Fedora appears to be capable of grouping related updates, although that feature does not appear to be used extensively. It also tries to visually indicate the general nature of the update.

Fedora 13 Shutdown
Shutting down Fedora 13. In Fedora the shutdown menu item is located under the system menu. Logout menu items exist under both the system menu and the user switch applet.
