Maybe F18 should be considered VM only?
Except for one tiny problem: I can't even get it to install on VMWare over here...
Since I am a certified RHCE and have been installing and running Linux systems since before there even was a RedHat distribution I was slightly taken aback by that...
Be that as it may, Mint installed cleanly and easily, so I'll stick with recommending that to others for the time being...
Just hang everyone who may have a different sense of right and wrong from you.

There are days I'm really glad I live in Africa... At least we can easily identify our despots...
IANAA (I am not an American) but why don't they turn the tables on the Newspaper and publish the names, specialities and addresses of the editorial staff of the paper in a full-page advertisement in its biggest rival in the city?
I assume that most of that data should be "publicly available" via some means or other...
After all, turnabout is still considered fair play in most places.
Vernon Davis, for instance, is 6'3", 250 lbs. with abs. Bench Presses 225 for 33 reps, vertical jumps 42 inches, runs 100m in 10.7 seconds. You won't find any athlete in any other sport who is more of a well-rounded athlete than that.

Have a quick look at the man here, on Youtube:

Then realise that this is Rugby, where a forward will tackle someone at that speed, put him down hard, and then bounce up to tackle his mate since the other bugger probably got a pass in before he went to ground.
And 6'3" and 113kg? A bit of a piker, no? <evil grin/>
Do you realize the NFL is on TV right now?
Oh, is that what it is? I thought it was the Teletubbies. All I could see was a bunch of guys in fat suits waddling up and down until one of them falls over and starts to cry, and then the others run up and give him a hug.
That looks like a pretty weaksauce "sport", to be honest.
Never really quite understood American Football...
Now Rugby, that is a game I can respect: all of the full-contact fun of American Football but none of the armour nor any of the all-too-frequent breaks... And a damn site more fun to play in either its full-contact or touch versions.
Touch-rugby on the beach with breaks for beer... Hmm. I loved summer!
Pity I'm a tad too old for that now.

Well, I chuckled, at least...
When someone starts a statement with:
"I'm not a bigot." it means you are
It's just like "I don't want to offend, but.."
"I don't want to say you're being a knucklehead here, but..."
Your attitude is like someone seeing Michelangelo's statue of David and complaining what a waste of time it was because you prefer giant naked women instead.
Which, to be honest, would be a completely valid point...
Oi! That's not quite fair! I'm fairly certain it's got snakes and sheep in it! It is in the Karoo, after all...
Mind you. doesn't sound all that different from Aussie Outback, does it?
Or maybe, because the rest of us lose out on the 90% they would have given back?
Which, strangely enough, also sounds like an aggravated sense of entitlement...
You top enders suck. You're going to be whining about how cold it is. I'm going into summer because I live on the awesome side. It's 25C outside (yes Centigrade, the proper way to measure temperature) today, in fact the future's so bright I'm going to need shades.
Amen brother...
We have a forecast of between 29*C in Pretoria (for the top-enders: Google claims that's about 84*F) and 27*C in Johannesburg (apparently about 81*F) today... Pity the water's still a bit to cold for swimming yet, but that should change soon enough...
Let me guess, a perl hacker.
Either that, or a Shell-script Meister...
