I don't really want to get into a distro war. I'll just refer to the post I linked which discusses *why* it's so popular. But yes, it has lots of users. As for usable, I'm sure it works great for some folks, but I've heard more people complain about Fedora "releases" than any other distro in recent memory, including RH7.0 and RH8. > Politics is bad, but from a user's point of view, well they want a > distro that is accessible and that doesn't require too much hassle > to install and run.

That's why I try to keep things as portable as I can in the spec files. Michael -- Michael Jennings (a.k.a.
