I think we're arguing the same point - that that is not where Fedora's strengths lie. But it's important not to get lost in the knee-jerk rationalizations and point-scoring when it comes to discussing Fedora compared to other OSes or distributions, because then it starts to sound like we _are_ trying to argue that people who'd be better off running something else should just run Fedora and suck up the inconveniences. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
