Hi

Actually, it's not hard to download the packages
and install from
source. (./configure ; make ; make install isn't
much harder than "yum
install" and it's more likely to work.)
you are completely wrong about that. yum has auto
depedency resolver and several other advantages over
installing from source. with pup in fc4 it would be
even more friendlier
However, the whole reason I prefer Linux over
Solaris is that Linux
comes with a good userspace, not because the Linux
kernel is all that
good. (The big thing Linux has going for it is
driver support.) As the
things that I expect to be "just there" start to
disappear, the
advantages of sticking with Linux go away.
let me get this straight. if its called fedora core
and is in ISO images, its there and if its in fedora
extras as rpm packages, it goes away?
