among the things that ALWAYS make me crazy in this GNU/Linux biz is:
- everyone is SHY to admin when an "opponent" does a good job and then 
adopt it.

For example let's talk about installation procedure.
Mandrake has since long time ago the possibility to SAVE in a floppy (but 
today it would be useful to be capable of saving also on USB sticks) the 
configuration & the packages one has choosen during install, and then 
automatize (?) the install procedure on other machine. This without setting 
up a "ghost" of the HD

SuSE, Mandrake & Debian have the possibility to CLEARLY set a LOCAL (on 
LAN) location to witch point their tools for installing packages.
This is very useful in places where you have at work a fast connection and 
at home no connection at all (or a very solow one ... 56kbps for example) 
.... one could make a nice cd-rw, copy it's content on a directory and then 
easily upgrade.

Now on Fedora the very weakness consist in it's package management ... 
which at home, with no connection is a pian in the ***beeep***

This is going to make me change a very fast and performing distro.

PS = why kpackage has been dismissed over the years by RH ? just for the 
sake of knowing
