is for you.
But realistically, what people want is close-to-the
latest plus
some stuff that none of the above includes, like
mplayer, xine,
xmms with mp3 support, java, flash and the browser
plugins for
them, etc., so you want FC3 or FC4 with all current
updates
and a bunch of 3rd party packages. It can be done,
but
it's not necessarily pretty.

Very well said. Users want a product that just works
straight out without having to "search, yum their way,
compile their way", etc with all the great stuff
"
mplayer, xine,
xmms with mp3 support, java, flash and the browser
plugins for

"
and since Red Hat is "releasing"/"has released" Fedora
on its own, why not have all these things within
Fedora. No more trademarks/patents other difficulties
to get what users want. What is holding Fedora Back
now?
Best Regards & Happy New Year

P.S. Sorry for creating an "extension field", an
extension/continuation of this thread which many
people might/or are already offended by its length.
Try
# rm -rf Re: Why questions don't get answered, or "No,
I've already RTFM, tell me the answer!"
if it does not work file a bugzilla against rm
command.
By the way is this the longest thread of the year, or
will it be Peter Whalley, petsupermarket.uol.br
Enquiring minds want to know.
