All from a person who
1. Doesn't know why xinetd is running or started by default
2. Makes a claim that "Multi-boot users will run into problems from Red
Hat/Fedora's use of disk labels".

I'll give that reviewer all the credibility that's deserved. Obviously
not the sharpest tool in the shed. And to complete the quote in it's
entirety rather than taking it out of context as above:

"To sum up, don't use Fedora if you want perfect, trouble-free
computing. (Come to think of it, don't use computers if you don't want
troubles.) For pretty good performance on the bleeding edge, Fedora does
just fine."
