> Hello Everyone? i've been reading this mail for sometime now. A Fedora Project Store isnt a bad idea but 1st lets get certain things right like; Fedora really needs to make software update using GUI tools much more easier than it currently is. Yum remains the best way & remember, coding is seen as geeky. Fedora does not do well as compared to Ubuntu on slower networks i.e a Huwei 3G Modem so update via GUI's usually wouldnt work. We need more developers, awareness & solid testing in this area. A Fedora Project Store in Nigeria or every Continent wouldnt be a bad idea! lol....thinking of it already...except it's a violation of somesort as againts Red Hat or GPL etc > On Sat, Apr 2, 2011 at 2:34 PM, Fabian A.
