Hey John, there is no use beating a dead horse. Once a decision is made
there is never any chance it will be reversed. I have finally accepted
this fact. And if I continue to use FC, I have resigned my self to
live with what I am given and just be happy if it works for me, when
it doesn't, I figure out how to live with what I can make work myself.
It has been made very clear that this is what is expected of FC users.
When something breaks, send a bugzilla if there aren't already a bunch
for the same problem, then figure out how to live with problem until
the package is no longer supported or possibly gets fixed. Remember
we are the extended testing ground for the Enterprise products and
should be resigned to be treated as such.

By the way FC5t2 seems OK so far, but I will get Ubuntu just in case
the final release is as broken as FC4 was, so I have something stable.
