Yes, and the distro's rpm is tightly integrated with the distro itself
(theme, plugins, etc...), flash and java work out of the box, you
don't clutter up your /home and you make ff 3.5 available to anyone on
your computer.

But ff3.5 is not even available officially on cooker right now. Just
wait a bit, a discussion is going on about this.
