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.
My reasons:
(1) Device driver for my Digi card is not supported by the newer kernels.
(2) It took me weeks to setup everything originally, and I don't want
to take weeks more if something goes wrong.
(3) It actually works (FC1 that is)... I haven't had any problems with
DNS, etc on the unit. Knock on wood.
(4) I've learned a lot about RPM packages since the move to FL. That
has to count for something.... If I stayed with the most current, I
would have never learned how to build my own samba packages, httpd
packages, install and maintain my own ClamAV packages. Actually learn a
painful lesson why they don't update perl very often, etc. I could go
on and on about this point.
Just my 2-cents,
James Kosin
