Not to start up the discussion again, I understand why RH can't include 
it in RHEL but I can't understand why it can't be included in Fedora..

Anyway it doesn't matter if I have to download it seperately as long as 
I can get it to run.. The new features are critical to the performance 
of the system I am putting together..

Later..
