Hell Yeah!   Those VSFTPD packages on the FTP site which are now Superfluous 
because VSFTPD 2.0.1 is in FC3 were written by a Fedora user.  When I 
installed Fedora 1 back in February, I went threw Hell to get Icecast up and 
running.  With a lot of help from two people, one of them is our very own 
Bill Acker, I got Icecast working.  Those Icecast RPM's on the FTP site were 
written by Bill himself.  Now, Don't forget, it was my second day of working 
threw Linux, so I needed a lot of help, but the truth is that it's 
available, maybe more for Fedora because of it's universality...Hey is that 
a word?  What I mean is it supports a universal standard for packages...RPM 
anyone?
Thanks,
Nick

I agree.  Who ever posted that message has to be talking from a very
ignorant position.  Fedora is a great distro and it certainly does not have
any more problems than any of the other distributions.  There is a large an
very active community around Fedora and it is very well supported by all of
the software developers out there.  Also, there are RPM Fedora packages for
almost anything you want...  So, you get a great distro plus the latest in
available technology when you use FC.
I am not saying that other distributions are not great or that Fedora is the
best.  I am just saying that FC has earned the respect of millions of Linux
users, because it is a quality product.
