The problem is many of the RHEL clones have fewer applications

This is why I couldn't upgrade/update Fedora on my wifes machine at
first. Missing applications that she uses.
I am hoping to put F8 on her machine after installing it on my desktop.
Look at Scientifuc Linux, it has a few addon repos available ootb; I was
fairly surprised to find pine got installed on request (on Nahant-clone
)'d built it myself, so when I ran the package list I asked for it).
