I doubt anyone knows all of 'em, but most of the time, things are very similar at a low level. At higher levels like versions of gnome or KDE people may notice radical differences in the way the interface looks or acts. If running old programs, you are likely to encounter missing shared libs because newer releases have moved on to newer versions, but for most of these, there are "compat" rpms available to install older glibc and other runtimes and get older programs to run. Sometimes when directions change completely, the compat libs are no longer available in convenient rpms, but if you really need them you can usually manually copy them over and run ldconfig by hand. On the other hand, if you are dealing with very subtle kernel behaviors you may have loads of fun discovering obscure differences. I work on a debugger, and have a 3000+ line long program that exists only to poke ptrace() and related things to tell me about the quirks of the current system so I can adapt the debugger at runtime :-). -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
