actually... i was envisioning a series of systems/apps that one coudl get/download/run, and be able to have portions, or a pretty much complete development environment up/running relatively quickly... the elegance/beauty of this approach is that you could pretty much guarantee that the environment would be stable, would run, would be supported, and that the machines/apps would communicate with each other in a consistent manner... this could also allow users to get the various components of the setup on a piece meal basis if they wanted. thoughts/comments... -bruce -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Les Mikesell Sent: Friday, May 20, 2005 2:36 PM To: For users of Fedora Core releases Subject: Re: OT: What's the deal with Ubuntu?

No, there are a dozen or so configurations that would cover a lot of needs. How many ways does Apple offer Mac configurations and how many Mac users hire a systems integrator to get some work done or before being able to listen to some music? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
