Fedora is a pig if you want to add any new software, I know -- but that is just plain ridiculous.

PERSONAL OPINION It sounds to me very much that you're dealing with a bunch of clueless commercials -- box resellers who don't know what they're doing and hoping to get their punters to pay for their own learning curve. For me, installing mailman is a 5-minute job. No more. Actually setting up a new list usually takes me longer than installing the mailman software in the first place. Just my 2p's worth.
