Now I wouldn't want to go around questioning John's tastes in software
myself, but I know what you mean Steve! ;)

I think a more important thing to note is you should be using the
package manager to install software where ever possible.  The folks at
FC work hard to maintain security updates and every time you install
something outside this you risk a potential hole and more work keeping
your system up to date and secure.  Unless you really can't do without
that feature only available from the latest release you really should
use the PM.  It's another of the advantages we, as Linux users, have.
Why throw it away?

Toodle pip,

Al
