Why don't you update to a newer Fedora Core release?
Hi Nils. Personally I take offense at someone telling me to get a
better
distro. I see this a lot on forums. Someone asking a question to
solve a
problem, and some idiot replying back with, "upgrade" why don't you
"upgrade".
I'm not telling you to get a 'better distro' or to upgrade. I was
just asking myself why you don't upgrade. There can be good reasons
for that. On the other hand I wish people would stop complaining
about not getting any upgrades anymore (I'm talking about people in
general) when Fedora clearly states it has a short lifecycle. Fedora
is for running the latest and greatest and Fedora Legacy is here to
help people out a little longer after Red Hat stops releasing updates.
Incidentally there are still folks out there using MS DOS, and
Win95, even
though that is no longer supported. They are happy with it, and I
hope have
sufficient 3rd party security in place, but it's their choice, and
no one
should be forcing them to change.
Nobody is forcing them or FC1/FC2 users to change their OS.
I'm only a home user, so perhaps am not so concerned as someone
using FC1, FC2
in the corporate environment, but am sure that there are a certain
number of
Linux IT guys and gals out there who are quite capable of sorting out
security fixes for FC1, and 2 if and when they are dropped by
Fedora Legacy.
Sure. But why don't they step in and join Fedora Legacy now? If there
would a lot of community involvement maybe FL could support releases
longer.
Nils.
