If the software isn't ready then it isn't ready. In the early days when Fedora still was Redhat - I'm speaking of Redhat 4.x - there was a unspoken rule that uneven number versions were unstable and even stable. Compare this with the kernel development in the old days. I ever used the stable versions :-) With Fedora the sub-numbering was gone. Maybe now we have it back. Fedora 9 unstable, Fedora 10 stable. What will bring Fedora 11? P.S. EOL of Fedora 8 is less then a month - 2009-01-07 - ago and we now have a very stable KDE desktop IMHO. Martin Kho
