Well, I have to tip my hat to that little bit of plumbing....
Almost makes me want to give up tcsh/perl for bash/awk.
On the defense-of-Emacs-in-core front, I propose this:
For "core" (i.e., bringing up systems, hacking broken config files)
Emacs addicts would only need the simplest bindings--none of that
usenet/chess/walk-the-dog stuff that never gets used. (But it would
be nice if some customization was possible, like reading .emacs)
I wonder if...
1) I should start yet another Light Emacs Project in C (as long as
it could eat the funny bindings in my ~/.emacs file!)
No! Better if...
2) Emacs-common could be broken into core/extras portions with
a <1/10 ratio, since it is currently 300+MB
I suppose vim+vimacs or joe/jmacs are options, but I have never tried
them because Emacs was always available in "core". (Oh, hell, I'll try
joe... Hmm jmacs works, but it is a little annoying since it has
slightly different bindings and ignores my ~/.emacs file.)
3) If emacs is pitched into extras, anaconda could indicate that
joe->jmacs->emacs clone to smooth some ruffled feathers.

firefox/thunderbird dying?
by Per Bothner
I'm surprised no-one else has mentioned this:
I keep having Firefox or Thunderbird die on me.
Not immediately: typically Firefox dies about once a
day, and Thunderbird dies every few days. The latter
is usually while composing an email message. (In fact
I'm re-typing this message after the previous version died.)
I haven't found a consistent pattern: it seems to be related
to me doing something with the mouse, but I believe Firefox
has sponyaeously died while I've been away from the computer.
(Can't swear to that, though.)
I've removed all the plugins (as confirmed using about:plugins).
This has been going on for a few weeks, and every few days I've
done a 'yum upgrade' hoping the problem has been fixed. So
far no luck.
This is on a Dell Inspiron E1405 laptop, with the i810 X driver
on an external LCD monitor. However, other applications seem fine,
though I have seem some stranges "flashing", such as screens or
windows re-drawn unexpectedly.
I'm sorry I haven't reported this earlier, but I've been assuming
this has been such a visible problem that it would be high
priority. But perhaps I'm the only one seeing this?

openvz inclusion in fedora or RHEL
by parta
Hi
I have read somewhere openvz people talking about getting openvz included in
Fedora or RHEL.
Is there any such plan, and then how will you maintain the kernel-updates
when openvz is released for kernels that are quite mature.
I thing you people are already having trouble with maintaning Xen kernels
for every kernel that is released. And openvz is going to be more difficult
to maintain

Is there a browsable SVN or CVS tree for the fc6 kernel anywhere?
Anybody know why the file has been removed rather than replaced with a

Intel GMA 950?

What driver is used for this card? Does it work well with rawhide?
I'm thinking of getting a Dell e1405 with the intel card, just wondering how
well it works. Are the 1390 wireless opensource drivers too?

missing rhythmbox features (or am I just blind?)
by Rodd Clarkson
I'm just reading through the release notes for rhythmbox-0.9.6
(http://www.gnome.org/projects/rhythmbox/news.html) and I noticed the
line:
* turn CD burning into a plugin (William Jon McCann: #344300)
which got me to thinking why it's been turned into a plugin when I can't
see it as a feature to start with.
Down the page I notice the release notes for earlier versions and see CD
burning mentioned a few more times.
When will this be exposed to the fedora users? I would love to be able
to be able to burn CD's (for legitimate reasons of course), and being
able to do it in rhythmbox would be fantastic.
