[dundee] Mint - Fedora

[gordon dunlop]

Linux Mint is going to produce their version of Fedora with all the
codecs added:

I am not interested as I have got all the extra repositories and my
system is all finely tuned and I like playing around with things. It
means a newbie can try it out without having much knowledge of Yum or
repository control. I recently upgraded FC7 to FC8 via the network
(this not recommended) and using Yum Extender GUI (this is not
recommended) - I seem to like to do things that are not recommended.
It was O.K., I had to do some tweaks like erasing dbus.i386 first and
editing some repos settings, It took 2 hours for a 1.6 GB download and
1/2 hour upgrading of packages. In FC8 64-bit I had to remove the
32-bit libraries in KDE as they are no longer required. I found FC8
rocks and to be less buggy than FC7 (so far).
