no.

only software i have installed, other than what is in standard distribution
of fedora and sl, are cad and eda related. none of which came from
rpmfusion-nonfree repo.

fact is, i do not have rpmfusion-nonfree in my repo lists.

curiously, why do you ask?

suse, opensuse, are they not from same group of attachmate group?
which is associated with microsoft and it's consortium's.

for you and i, fedora/red hat are easy. for many oos users who try one
linux distrib and then another, i would say that many more end up with
suse or ubuntu do so because they are simpler and easier for them to use,
not in that they are simpletons. and not just because of fedora's short eol.

i agree. yet he keeps on asking. being that op has been told many times to
get 'live' and make his own decision, and not doing so, he is leaning in
wrong direction and more like that if he fails, it will not be his fault,
but fault of others because 'they' told him what to use. then has a
'scape goat' to blame his short comings on.
