Folks, I don't know if this has been asked before (it probably was, but I could not find it in the faq/newsgroups) but I have this nagging question to ask.... When you install Fedora as a new install, why is it that the web-browser plug-ins do not have common plug-ins installed by default? Common ones off the top of my head, I would expect are: 1) Java (Sun or Fedora Native?) 2) Flash (Macro media or whatever) 3) PDF support (Adobe or whatever) 4) Quick-time, Real Media, ... (From vendor or at least from clones) In short - why cause the installer (who may otherwise might not be well-versed with computer installs) grief? With at least the upcoming FC5, seems that we now are stuck with a conundrum when it comes to Java - which one? The Fedora compiled one or the one from Sun Microsystems? (Some sites say NOT to install Sun's version as it *might* screw up Fedora's implementation and if you are a new developer - what confusion! Can anyone explain to me what I need to do, which one to choose? If I am a regular Joe (not a developer) what is my answer? If I am NOT a regular Joe (a developer) what is my answer? Kind regards, Dan
