I'm extremely concerned that an official Fedora magazine would require the proprietary Flash plugin to view.
I would like to add a +1 on this. Listen I realize that having flash will enhance how it is perceived and will allow more editorial control on layout. However, it would seem to undercut the core message of Fedora == Freedom. If you have to use propietary authoring controls to create that message... you have weakened the message. Until gnash (or something equivalnet) is shipped core in Fedora.. I would be concerned that any official Fedora product should be able to be used with only a Core product. -- Stephen J Smoogen. -- CSIRT/Linux System Administrator How far that little candle throws his beams!
