That was the "secret" I was missing out on. I had never heard of the Alternatives system, but now I know that it is there, the light has gone on :-) > Right now I develop on Ubuntu 7.02 with Eclipse + PDT (I'm a big Fedora > fan, but seriously -- if you want easy and nice, try Ubuntu).

This is always a difficult choice. I have a dedicated server with my ISP that runs FC4 and my office file/everything server runs FC5, so F7 for the desktop looked like the best option. I will keep Ubuntu in mind, though the thought of shifting now that I am set up is pretty scary.
