Good then quit bogarting the crack pipe.
And actually, it has been more than suggested on this list (or one of
these fedora lists) that Fedora Core could, and is eventually expected
to, run on something other than the Linux Kernel, such as BSD. And,
IIRC, that came from a RH email address. Still ready to stand by that
analogy. :^D
Then I'll send a message to this list with my Red Hat e-mail address
saying that "eventually, I want Totem with WMA, Sorenson, DVD, and MP3
playback in Fedora", and you're going to believe me :)
Who's on the crackpipe then? ;)
