I don't think that's fair to say. Since it wasn't included in Linus' standard kernel, what makes you think RH was going to support it, that early? I think our point is that it's no longer that difficult to maintain, and we're asking for it. If it's really that big of a deal to the Fedora development team, even though there's been offers to help, I'll either wait for FC2, or I'll move my server to a different distribution...that's all. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org:2000 To be notified of updates to the web site, visit http://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update, or send a message to: site-update-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with a message of: subscribe
