A little different question.
I know that RedHat is based in the USA but how about all the people
that make Fedora? is the majority of that in non USA countries? i' m
just wondering that..

@David Boles
I like fedora. i tried a dozen linux distributions but i keep coming
back to Fedora. The fact that i like it doesn't mean that i agree on
all parts (like this) but i understand why it's done so i will just
have to use livna for it.. (actually makes codec buddy completely
useless for me..)
