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.

"The end user may not like it, but including these compromises the freedom of said user. As GNU/Linux becomes the dominant platform and suitable free alternatives become available, the user will appreciate their freedom."
That's really funny. Debian includes many (Xine and Mplayer) of these things and it is free as the air we breath. This only demonstrates that Fedora IS NOT really free. It is merely a alpha test for Red Hat Enterprise. Even the stable release is buggy. This is because you will never use an actual "final" release unless you shellout a 100 bucks to RedHat. They are smart to dupe the open source community in programming their commercial app for them. That way they sit back and get fat without working. Microsoft is even more straight forward about thier product than this. These items are not included because RedHat Inc. doesn't want to be sued by the motion picture industry and the RIAA. You guys that want freedom should migrate to Debian or Gentoo.
