Hi,

Just for the record, Pirut and Pup died. We now use PackageKit.

I think that's why we have several spins, one for Gnome, one for KDE,
one for astronomy people, one for artists, one for geeks in electronics,
etc...

Please, let me my DVD. Let me have the joy to select each and every
package for hours every 6 months (knowing perfectly that yum will add
packages I unchecked for dependencies :)
