[hylafax-users] Hylafax RPMS for Fedora Core 3

["Tom Rymes" <trymes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not to fan the flames, but:

What advertising is there? I must have installed 5 different version of
HylaFAX and I can't say I remember seeing any....

Not that anyone cares about my opinion, but I consider RPMs to be
frighteningly useful, and consider them essential. Some silly Text
banner on an ftp site, or something that scrolls by as the RPM installs
seems like a minor annoyance at worst.

Just my $0.02,

Tom
