Yeah - I think a bit concerned initially that some might not see the funny
side of using
'no offence', and 'horseshit' in the same sentence, but I thought the
humourous effect
of such a combination was worth it.

I guess I actually agree. I have every intention of doing lots of
experimenting with
mine, but just not at OS level, by which I mean changing the OS. I will be
experimenting
with different packages from the Fedora Repository, as well as various 3rd
party Fedora
repositories, but as I said earlier, different strokes for different folks.

What fuss? This is a mailing list - people sending mails to each other, is
normal operation - not fuss.
