So yes, everything I use on a regular basis is available in the repos I have currently enabled, plus a package or two in Atrpms. And there are also two applications that I build from source, but they are very specific and I think no distro has them yet (they are very simple to build anyway, so not worthwhile to package). But then there is software I want to try out, and here the picture is different. So some weeks ago when I was looking at window managers I did log to Debian as they have a greater choice, but the one I eventually chose is both in Fedora and Debian. -- 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
