Actually, I am learning about the parts of the whole and deciding whether
or not I want to use anything useful.  I have actually learned a lot about
what is available in F9, what "it" is used for, what I need and what I do
not need.  It turns out that one-self is pretty much left to solve the 
problem
for one-selves when the going gets tough.

Clearly, there are some issues when installing "everything" and here, I 
tried
it and found out where the conflicts are, what does not interoperate very
well, what to avoid, and probably some "bugs" seemingly noted in the logs.
Interesting thing here, is I have installed almost everything, except 
those which
conflicts with one another or has bugs in them.

Func/certmaster is new to me and I will certainly look into it's usefulness,
but not now, later.

Problems are fun, so as long as you can solve it.  The hardest one for 
me right
now is system-config-services which hangs itself for no apparent reason, no
error messages of any kind.  It is python code so I guess I will have to 
take a
deeper look into it.
