I would just like to add an observation. I have been a member of this Fedora Users site for 5 years. I have noticed that at some point after the release of a new version of Fedora a long OT thread develops. Usually after 6 weeks to 2 months after the release. It kind of signals that there are no major problems remaining with the release and that instead of Bugs and Support, a little community building is going on. I look forward to such a long OT thread after each release. Often the threads are started by Trolls and everybody jumps in even if they know better. In this case, the OP's question although somewhat OT prompted positive and interesting feed back that let some of us get a better feel for who people behind posts are, who heretofore were just recognizable names. As I say, I always look forward to the 'every thing is ok with this release' thread. -- Regards Bill Fedora 14, Gnome 2.32 Evo.2.32, Emacs 23.2.1 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
