Users want a product that just works straight out without having to "search, yum their way, compile their way", etc with all the great stuff " mplayer, xine, xmms with mp3 support, java, flash and the browser plugins for them, etc. " and since Red Hat is "releasing"/"has released" Fedora on its own, why not have all these things within Fedora. No more trademarks/patents other difficulties to get what users want. What is holding Fedora Back now? Best Regards & Happy New Year Antonio P.S. Sorry for creating an "extension field", an extension/continuation of this thread which many people might/or are already offended by its length. Try # rm -rf Re: Why questions don't get answered, or "No, I've already RTFM, tell me the answer!" if it does not work file a bugzilla against rm command. By the way is this the longest thread of the year, or will it be Peter Whalley, petsupermarket.uol.br Enquiring minds want to know. __________________________________________ Yahoo! DSL ?
