I use it myself. And put in postgresql-devel and libpqxx--a full set of libraries and includes for creating client apps for PostgreSQL in C/C++. For that matter, why not include wxGTK and its KDE equivalent? That's GPL, AFAIK. And while you're at it: the OpenOffice SDK. And--oh, yes: the Apache XML-FO processor. (And make sure that the XSL processor installs as part of Linux--I think it does, though. It's never turned up missing--but I always install DocBook stuff, just in case.) And finally: apt and Synaptic. Yes, I know you include yum, and yum saved my bacon lately. But--you can't have too many package managers. A good desktop administrator should include them all: apt, yum, and up2date. What I've just named are the apps that I always go out and bag every time I install Fedora Core on a new machine. Well, not all of them--I haven't named the ones that distribute under their own licenses that are incompatible with the GPL. These include: acroread Java (at least the JRE if not the SDK) mplayer Temlakos
