The no. 1 must get is APT. Hassle-free installations.

I agree with iamroot. Apt-get RPM for Fedora is the only way to install packages as far as I'm concerned. I wouldn't use Fedora without it.

You can even use APT for up[censored]. So you no longer need to use the lousy up2date with its slow speed and broken links.

I have a question! How do you install "Sunbird"?
 
I downloaded and moved the whole folder to the /usr/share then I added if to the kicker menu redirecting the command to sunbird with its appropriate icon, but after loggin out the shorcut in the kicker menu disappeared. How do you install it then...?
