Re: OS Future now that Fedora Legacy defunct

[Donald Tripp <dtripp@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I concur. I use FC for my desktop / laptop, and Scientific Linux (another RHAS rebuild) for our cluster and servers. For high performance computing you are not concerned with the latest greatest version of xwindows or grub, but more concerned with stability. RHAS rebuild projects give us that stability ( I'm still running 2.6.9-34EL ). But for my desktop where I am tweaking this, compile test programs, evaluating software for other users, its good to be on the bleeding edge, even if sometimes you get cut... :-)

I agree.  I will keep FC for my desktop because I want the latest and

greatest and I don't mind rather frequent updates.  On the other hand, the

servers I manage are still running FC4, and I started a migration plan to

go for CentOS a few months ago.  Now that Legacy is gone, I will have to

accelerate the process.
