How about if they think fedora sucks because the people who
probably spent a lot of time deciding for themselves what
should be on the CD's couldn't be bothered to make it
possible for someone to install all of the programs they
are likely to need in one step, or without understanding
the purpose of each program/package at a point when they
can't see it or it's man page.
