Just we decided on using the SuSE one. **This not an "instead of"**. Your question only makes sense if you have the idea that we're doing a modified Fedora. We do not have that goal or idea. I realize there was some press earlier that implied that, but don't believe everything the press says. In addition to the fedora or suse originated packages there are many packages that aren't from either of them, and I expect this to grow not shrink.... So I would like to really ask you and others to stop thinking of Moblin as "Fedora with changes" and measure everything against that. I realize it's easy to think that, and a lot of things just won't make sense in that mindset. -- Arjan van de Ven Intel Open Source Technology Centre For development, discussion and tips for power savings, visit http://www.lesswatts.org -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
