To help Eric fine tune his accuracy, I have to say that I work in a
global well known IT company, on Linux solutions sales. We fight
everyday for Linux not to die in the commercial world, because of this
annoying "missing packages". On the commercial desktop space this is
specially annoying.
In the commercial desktop space, I would expect you would be using a
commercially supported distribution. RHEL includes Acrobat, Flash,
Java, and RealPlayer. Any other things you find missing should be noted
with your sales rep.
Alternately, if you are supporting Fedora as a commercial desktop, you
must already be doing a significant amount of long-term support (since
the Fedora "lifetime" is only 8-12 months). In that case, you can add
the "missing packages" to your own custom distribution.
