[NBLUG/talk] [WLUG] Mplayer and Fedora 8

[Bob Blick]

Tell me again, why do people use Fedora? This is actually a serious
question. Because I know why people use RedHat and CentOS, they want
"enterprise grade" linux, but Fedora is meant to be a desktop linux.
What's good about it, especially since there are so many other popular
desktop distributions?

Cheerful regards,

Bob
