Do you realise what a dis-service you do to Fedora by suggesting that because it is free you shouldn't complain if it doesn't work? In my (very long) experience the quality of Unix/Linux/RedHat/Fedora is very high and does not need "salesmen" telling you that you mustn't expect it to work properly. All software has bugs. These are due to mistakes on someone's part, and should be corrected as soon as possible. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
