I know this particular issue isn’t the fault of Foresight or rPath, but the fact remains: Ubuntu and Fedora rule the roost when it comes to distributions and if you aren’t on one of them, good luck with third-party software or anything else not in the repositories. :-(

If only this were the only problem. Conary is too slow, for one thing. And what is up with the gui printer configuration tool? It just plain doesn’t work on my system.

I’ll probably be switching my Foresight system back to using Ubuntu.
