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.

Hi
"And with this approach SuSE did not taint Linux. You did, when you downloaded. Redhat could do the same."
No. The fonts are legally downloadable but not redistributable so the user would be in no way tained if he chooses to use ms fonts. the quality of the fonts are not embedded into themselves. its the engine that makes the difference. you can still make out differences between the fonts when used in windows and when used under linux.
we need something thats redistributable and also metric compatible with ms fonts so that linux fonts would look better out of the box and ms word documents would look just the same.
the situtation has far improved and its not as much relevant as it used to be thou
regards
Jess
