When you spend as much time in front of a computer trying to get actual
work done, eye candy, like decent readable fonts that don't make you
crosseyed, or the ability to watch screencasts or listen to podcasts are
essential.  you can dismiss it all you want, but if I couldn't solve these
problems, I wouldn't use Fedora, I'd be forced into using a Mac.  I guess
I'm a loser.

Ah, and the license restriction canard.  I was actually expecting this
one.  If Fedora can't distribute this software because of license
restrictions, how come RPMFusion can, and Ubuntu can, and SuSE can, and,
and, and.

The sad truth is that these are political problems that other distros have
solved, but Fedora hasn't bothered to yet.

I also wear spandex, even though I weigh well over 100kg.
