Fedora Core For this article, I chose to take a slightly different approach than the standard "Linux distribution review". As I have written not just one, but two reviews of Fedora Core 2 for this site, I want to base my review of Fedora Core 3 on my experiences with its direct predecessor. Update: FC3 shots here.

meta-packages for proprietary software
by tech_user on Tue 23rd Nov 2004 15:29 UTC

i agree with the article: meta-packages for proprietary software is a good way forward. i have liked this ability in ports-type systems and also derived distros which make it easy to pull in 3rd party software like flash, nvidia, realplayer, dvdcss etc ... i even saw one distro which said "click here" to pull in microsoft fonts. excellent!
this is the way out of the proprietary licensing dilemna.
