I was using Fedora and it's one of the distro's I recommend. But I
changed to openSUSE exactly because of the same issue: bugs that
should be fixed and are marked as WONTFIX. In this case that all KDE
apps are 1 package (sound mixer panel appler, cd ripper, media
player). Fedora is one of the only distro's doing this mistake. I
would like to use it again. But in particular I need this to be split.
Also I found YaST somewhat useful for setting up apache. Fedora should
maybe also have a build service/ppa. In openSUSE even if they won't
split it up I can install libffi from the build service.
Hope I didn't start a flamewar lol :)
Best regards,
Damian
