Mike, how is FC5 or FC6 experimental (when we're now on FC7?)?
Jacob, confront your Univ. and ask them if they're getting funding from 
SuSE's parent company.  Well, you might not want to do that, but money 
moves the world in more ways and places than we can probably imagine.  
By-the-way, I'm very fond of both OpenSuSE and FC.
