Yes, I am very grateful to these individuals for producing the
fantastic work they do, and for so little recognition, except for the
throes of ecstasy of a satisfied user.
I am also a big fan of Fedora. I guess perhaps it's because I began
with Red Hat, but I have tried others and always came back to the
rpm-based distro. Mandrake has nice touches, but I think Fedora is more
mature. Gentoo holds some attraction for me, but to compile the entire
operating system from scratch seems pointless for my ends. Yes, they
have other methods, too, but why change then? I might as well stick
with rpms. Fedora is also so well supported by the other repos, like
freshrpms, etc.
It was a nuisance about multimedia under Fedora, but I have also relied
on the programs you just mentioned and they have made the situation
acceptable for me.
But with the recent discovery of kde-redhat, I have no more cause to complain.
