[ale] Fedora 15 DVD install

[Jim Kinney]

For Fedora, you'll want to add the rpmfusion repo as it'll have the mp3
stuff and nvidia driver stuff.

To browse the distro packages, you look for a mirror site and poke through
the releases and updates for the releases.

http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-options  has a link to a KDE spin of
fedora 15 (New! Today!)  "All Download methods" is a link to here:
http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-all

which has "see all mirrors" near the bottom. Select a mirror and look at
releases and updates.

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to
consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they
please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
