I just think it would be interesting (for Fedora Legacy) to have some
sort of idea of why people are running legacy versions of Red Hat and

Oh, idle curiosity. Why would the people at FL be interested in any

I do it because I should have used a different distribution. It came
about like this (since you express idle curiosity)...
I landed a contract programming job, and was requested to put Linux
and WinXP both as dual boot on my machine. More specifically, I was
requested to put FC2 on my machine. I worked on the software, which
was intended to run under Windows, Linux, SCO Unix, and other OS.
Now, the fellow who wanted me to run a Red Hat compatible Linux
only knew about FCx as being a "good" one. He was ignorant. But
that's what the boss wanted, so that's what I put on here. Probably
a re-spin like CentOS or Scientific Linux would have been better.
Now, the contract is over, but I have an FC2 box. I have zero motivation
to change, so I leave it as it is. If I "upgrade" it will not be
to any version of Fedora Core.
