I think that's the definition of a *library*. Let's say you want to build a boat. So you go to the library and you dig through the thousands of books there until you find some on carpentry, buoyancy principals and boat-building. You probably *can* build a boat from this information, but that's not the purpose of every book in the library. A distribution would be more like going to an engineering college and studying nautical engineering. Focused and dedicated to the task, you'll probably produce a better boat in the end. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.15 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlJ38mAACgkQeiVVYja6o6N6cQCePRm9NnCvX3ZRZ1PrdhPTHoxu 6DQAn2Y1PCtD/yA6P8826Z2qmruNUC0R =3l7y -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
