Linux != Fedora. There's obviously only outdated packages for Fedora. But that's a problem that can be fixed. As an openSUSE user, I have the choice of FlightGear 2.8.0 in the games repository, or 2.9.0 in games:FlightGear:Unstable thanks to the openSUSE Build Service. I just have to look for "flightgear" on http://software.opensuse.org/search, "Show unstable packages" and hit "1 Click Install". Nice and streamlined indeed. The nice thing is: the openSUSE Build Service is not limited to openSUSE. Packages can be created for Debian, Fedora, Mandriva and Ubuntu as well. And once you got that set up, it's very little work to maintain. I think this could be a great way to make FlightGear better available to Linux users. Stefan
