RPM dependencies kicking my a**

[dwighte.chadbourne at stopandshop.com (Dwight E Chadbourne)]

"Not to start a distro flame-war, but the reason that stuff is included in
Ubuntu's official repos is that Ubuntu is virtually alone among the
non-commercial distros in that it includes non-free (license- and/or
patent-encumbered) software in the "official" distribution (unlike Debian 
or
Fedora)...
Whether you think that is a good thing or not depends on how much religion 
you
have about free software principles.   To be fair, I'll admit that 
Fedora's
(and likewise, Debian's) situation is kind of pain for users who want 
things
to work out-of-the-box.

I prefer to start with trustworthy pure free goodness and slowly add 
satanic software as time goes by.  I'm glad we have several options.
