Oh, a lot of this is ancient history. For instance, an RH 9
system that had to be upgraded to a 2.6 kernel and needed to update a
lot of userspace stuff, especially modutils. We had a production RHEL
3 server that we had to do the same thing -- I think that the
distribution had a largely 2.6-ready userspace, but modutils is
critical for having a system that can boot, and the last thing I need
is getting it 'upgraded' to something that leaves the machine inoperable.
The system that I hacked out xmms on is an FC3 system, I haven't
done this on my FC4 installs. My two big beefs are apps that are
dependent on media players (more than you might think) and apps that
depend on a web browser (shades of "IE is integrated into the operating
system") -- in both of these cases I might just want to give up on what
comes with the OS and handle them myself in /usr/local.
