Re: YAST for Fedora?

As someone who came to Fedora from openSUSE, yeah, Adam, YaST is definitely a bad approach. It was great for things I did *once* when I set up a box, but for the stuff I did regularly - install / uninstall packages, build stuff from source, etc. - the command line tools beat the crap out of GUIs.

Re: Proposed F19 Feature: Cinnamon as Default Desktop

I love GNOME 3 and detest KDE 4. I've tried MATE and Cinnamon on both Linux Mint and Fedora and don't really see the point of either of them as long as GNOME 3 offers fallback mode. When you come right down to it, nearly all Linux desktops can be easily customized to provide a Windows-like
