Number 9, number 9. Fedora 9 Preview has been cleared for takeoff!

Okay :) pup/pirut were here until not so long ago! They've been took away. Oiks. I've noticed
PackageKit. It's got style and it's goals are laudable. I see this *Kit trend with Gnome -
cute.

yumex: I recognise it from one of my colleague's desktops. I'll check it out. Heh, I just did
a 'yum search yum'. Never thought about doing that before.

Whoa - crikey! 'yum install yum-fastestmirror'. Why isn't this installed by default? I wish I
had discovered this six months ago.

OOo is not installed by default. I think the reason may be political. Though that remark could
be way off the, er, mark. Both Abiword and Gnumeric are very Gnomic, no? OOo _is_ certainly
available. 'yum install openoffice.org-writer openoffice.org-calc openoffice.org-impress
openoffice.org-base' which would approximate to what is installed by default in Ubuntu yields
a total size download of 123MB. And it wants to install Tomcat. I am _allergic_ to Tomcat - I
had to configure it one time too many in work.
