In other words, lots of truly "floss" podcasts also come in an ogg
flavor, because of mp3 being patent-encumbered and whatnot.

that way.
But I'd certainly expect to NOT see any ahci strings in dmesg... Other
than that, not a clue how to read the bios settings in a generic way,
its likely somewhat specific to each bios.

And likewise, PackageKit and yumex for Fedora.

Yeah, I'd generally agree with that. RHEL/CentOS is generally better for
business use case, IMO (unless you need support for newer $foo). I think
Fedora is generally pretty good for non
and true technologies
and features (that often appeared in the prior Fedora release... ;).
Really, Ubuntu does something very similar to what Red Hat does when a
new RHEL release is forked off of Fedora, they just do it on a more
frequent release schedule, and Debian-based instead of Fedora-based. :)

Personally, I've had very little problems with upgrading from distro to
distro going back to Red Hat Linux 7.x days, up through current Fedora.
I wouldn't classify myself as a typical user though...
