wasted time?

[harry at srv-rhsoft:~]$ rpm -q firefox
firefox-25.0-3.fc19.x86_64

why should somebody download Firefo from the homepage?
because he do not know how to handle his system?

then explain how to handle it instead work around while seeking
solutions for non-existing problems - guess what: i have running
no single application which si not installed with RPM and you can
be sure that my workflow covers anything from office to development

ok - two exceptions - VMware Workstation and ZendStudio
both are running since years on Fedora systems @home as
well @work on 4 different workstations
