Linux binaries, like... flash, silverlight (mono package), several google
apps like chrome, google desktop/gadgets/earth/picasa...
I'm currently installing all my stuff via the repositories, but after having
used as well Debian, SuSE and Fedora for several years, I have the
impression that, if there is a binary package available for download, it
would be an RPM. I've barely seen Debs for download.
By the way. Is Moblin using yum, yast, or anything homebrew?
Cheers,
 Chris
