Agreed

NOOO!!! The idea is good, but the implementation sucks... Mesa wantses a
yum aplet!

And damn animation, DIE!!!

long live yum! it is getting better and better all the time, now we only
need a snappy gui for it, and an aplet to go with it...

Agreed. I was just about to mention rythmbox and firefox. evolution 2 i
haven't tried yet, but if it is anything close to evo 1, it got to be
nice :)

As for rythmbox, a working, built-in tag editor would be nice. Not that
there is anything wrong with easytag...

Yup. Now we are just waiting for the extras to arrive, and it seems like
there might even be a polish-up on the rpm building tools as well.

Hooray for fedora and its developers!!
