    I wonder how people can live with all the breakage in this distro. I guess most of them are developers.

      Guhh, they're doing almost everything I want Ubuntu to do.
      You know, I'm going to keep telling people about Ubuntu (and wearing my Ubuntu hoodie), but for my personal use.. I may just have to go with Fedora instead..

      ..but then, let's be honest; until Thunderbird supports proper conversation threading, gmail is better.

            Well most of what is now new in Fedora will be part of the next version of the other major distros. It seems as if Fedora is more and more becoming the test bed for new technologies that then move to become standard upstream in the next cycle(s).

              I welcome Thunderbird 3 (beta) in Fedora 11, even if it means I will have to give up on a few extensions.
