What's wrong with installing most of those later? There's a lot of votes in here for software that is definitely not Free
huh? a lot of votes? I see q3a demo, and nvidia drivers - but what else do you see that's not free?
That's sort of a "in a perfect world" type of wishlist anyway -
I know, red hat will never ship fully functional multimedia stuff as long as there is a legal issue, but the postfix, spamassassin and tcptraceroute are all valid - as would be a non-broken version of rpm...
and I'd hate to see that kind of pollution in the distribution.
Shipping current rather than deprecated versions of important packages doesn't sound like pollution to me -
I agree about the non-gpl stuff, but a lot of people would pull out the wallets to order a power tools cd containing the commercial goodies...
