Fedora Core Couldn't stop myself from trying the new Fedora 2-test1 release, even if it is an alpha! The 2.6 kernel, KDE 3.2 and Gnome 2.5 all in the same release was just to much candy to turn away from; too bad it's more sour rather than sweet at this (beta) point than I would have expected.

re:Freedom Issues.

There are issues of freedom with all of these. They will NOT be included in Fedora anytime soon and hopefully anytime ever.

Who is hurt by not including these items ... certianly not the companies who make them.

Every mailing list out there would recommend mplayer as the media player ... and would recommend the binary drivers from NVidia and ATI ...

The only group hurt by not including what everyone is going to use anyway is the end user ...

Now, certianly someone should be working on a replacement that is better ... but telling people to install it themselves is silly and not in any way addressing the problem.
