Fedora Core 8

Hey, at least Fedora is consistent. Still no mp3 support out of the box, just a lame explanation of how it’s not open and how ogg and flac are better. Guess we better start looking for that portable flac player and re-encode all our music…

Also no Exchange support in Evolution, which matters to me, but probably no one else. Fortunately, I’ve already been down this path. Check the main page for details on how to build in this support.

Also what happened to libstdc++5? This is required to install Mozilla’s firefox, but the Fedora firefox rpm installs fine and doesn’t require it.

But on the good side, they seem to be keeping up with Gnome updates.
