I would tend to believe that is more the result of a tradeoff between convenience and sticking to a distribution's moral and/or ethical standpoint. For example, till the time Intel Graphics cards became the flavor of the month the company was clubbed in the same evil circle as NVidia or even ATI. But with time and sufficient effort invested by Intel and the distributions, things have changed. This means that an average home user can be asked to get a system that provides reasonable bling and yet not have to install binary bl0bs to get them. A tendency to howl in pain saying "Fedora sucks" had been around since the time the mp3 support was withdrawn. The "blame Fedora" is more to do with "it works in F00 Distribution so why can't you". The only way to counter this is perhaps keep on spreading the message through as many means we can - blogs, Ambassadors being among the well trod ones. :Sankarshan - -- You see things; and you say 'Why?'; But I dream things that never were; and I say 'Why not?' - George Bernard Shaw -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Red Hat - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGHbHsXQZpNTcrCzMRAkinAKCUFFH/51693gsGORIWTvcgq8STpgCfX3lt 0MKia613huTeGT4MEngkj1I= =53KX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
