Well, after reading a lot of posts about this error, I found that none of the suggestions dealt with the read problem... THE REPOSITORY AT DOWNLOAD.FEDORA.REDHAT.COM IS MISSING!

PERHAPS HE HAS POOR EYESIGHT!!!

All-caps are harder to read than mixed caps and should be used sparingly. This has been well-known to the printing profession for several hundred years.

That's interesting Patrick, but I'm very keen to learn how Capitals are working very well with your Asus 1000HE netbook with F10, as it hasn't made an outing in this thread yet.

This was a much funnier post. I spat my morning coffee out over this Asus EeePC 701G with Ubuntu 9.04 because of this.

You seem to be having quite a tantrum over this, I don't see why. A point was made about it's considered shouting. It is. And by convention, long before email ever existed, UPPER CASE was used as a form of emphasis. Don't people read books? And since the days of e-mail, it's been considered an extreme form of emphasis (i.e. shouting your message). It's also considered lazy typing, and it's also considered ill-educated. A point's also been made that it isn't actually easier to read upper case, normal mixed case is easier to read. Neither point negates the other, they still stand. This isn't an either/or situation. And as far as "screaming back," you were one who did that.
