Every distro has its fanboys, and many not only go overboard, but start stating technical specifics that are just dead wrong. There's nothing more frustrating than trying to explain to an ignorant "source build system" distro fanboy the difference between ISA extensions and ISA optimizations when it comes to performance. And I'm a huge fan of that "source build system" distro myself (and even share publication credits with its creator). The key is to ignore them. Every distro has them, even Fedora. Heck, one day they praise you, the next day they criticize you. I'd just rather they not be so "manic-depressive" in the first place. ;) > But my may to deal with it is to show how useful is Fedora for *me* and > how proud I am in using it.

Helping others work and get things done is the key. Everything else is subjective marketing. As I mentioned before, I've had enough of that in the commerceware and hostageware world. ;) Glad to see you are putting some things down on how you work. That's always a great thing. In fact, and more selfishly, do you have anything on RAW conversion tools (DCRAW/UFRAW), CinePaint and its HDR plug-in? ;) -- Bryan J.
