By using FreshRPMS (which are build *for* Fedora) and Fedora what do I exactly mix? - I don't get it. Seriously. > I want cool apps too, but not at the price I might have to pay. What is the price of using Fedora and FreshRPMS? Essential packages come from Fedora, addons come from FreshRPMS, they do *NOT* exactly mix since none of FreshRPMS packages *replaces* any of Fedora packages - they are simply *additional* that coexist together. So I still do not get your point. Since I live in Europe and own a nifty portable MP3 player I realy *need* MP3 support - since I own a DVD-ROM and legal DVD movies I need decoders to watch *my* *legally* *bought* movies on *my* computer and I do not see anything illegal in using them - thats the point of FreshRPMS existence (but also a quality, reliable packages) - in my view Fedora is somewhat disabled, beacouse you CAN'T get MP3 (and so on...) support in fashion way (from distribution packages) - you must use another non-fedora-blessed repository. I know this discussion has been taken so long, but why Debian can do this and Fedora not. Maybe consider something like splitting repos into non-us, non-free and so on... -- ,--------, |`. .'| Konrad Kosmowski |.'`--'`.| K.Kosmowski@xxxxxxxxxxxxx '--------'
