Which, btw, is fine with me, as I have the 2.5 braincells needed to find it. However, with an attitude like this, the "Fedora on the desktop" idea is a fallacy as long as standard Scenario #1 User: "When I click on a .mp3 file, I get an error, why doesn't this work" Reason: It's not legal to distribute mp3 codecs. Acceptable?: What other choice do we have? (yes CodeBuddy is being worked on but it's not a reality yet) Scenario #2 User: "I could fax/get status/copy with my HP xxx printer in Windows but in Linux it only prints" Reason: We have a vendetta against HP and refuse to put the icon on the menu because in our eyes the software sucks (although it does work). [therefore user has to learn commands like rpm -ql package to find out what is available] Acceptable?: ? I don't think so, but it certainly looks like I'm in the minority. Seriously, you want me to list everything about Fedora that sucks yet gets a place on the menu? No, probably not. Level the playing field, everyone will benefit. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
