If you've been following discussions on this group recently, you must have
noticed that, whenever I don't like something about the way things work in
the open-source world, I say it openly.

But rpmfusion... rpmfusion... What could one find to say against the way
rpmfusion works? So far, all the packages they've provided work and, as
far as I know, only on their site will you find complete instructions on
installing the NVIDIA drivers. (Lots of disinformation on the net, but
nobody seems to give a damn about all the would-be Linux adopters lost
this way.)

Yeah... what's wrong about rpmfusion? Ah, I got it: they provide a package
for mplayer so we don't have to pay Microsoft twice by paying for Fluendo.

Ah, they're really bad! That's why I like them I suppose :)
