https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cryptography The end user is not expected to know this stuff. However, she/he is expected to find out and learn(google mostly). It isn't possible for any foss community to go out and educate people. FOSS is highly *highly* based on self learning/teaching. > > I wrote that to promote Fedora, we must promote it with applications > for target groups. > Businesses would want libreoffice, would want an accounting package, > perhaps a FOSS ERP package or more.

We have the software in our repositories already. However, you must understand that this is not the correct channel for this discussion. It is important that you make the correct discussions with the correct people. Also note that all our software is available free of cost, and any one can make themselves a spin (many people already do). If you're interested, please go ahead and take the initiative. > > We must promote Fedora to the business world with business > applications.

Fedora is a comparatively fast moving operating system. Businesses do not use systems that need quick updates, or version upgrades. Even when troubleshooting, we suggest that people make use of rhel/centos/scientific linux for their servers and businesses. Besides, there is no commercial support available for Fedora. The community helps people, but it isn't commercial support like RHEL provides. Fedora is good as a personal desktop linux distribution, but that's all I'd suggest personally. -- Thanks, Warm regards, Ankur: "FranciscoD" Please only print if necessary.
