I probably run an operating system install longer than most. Of the machines at home and work that come to mind, one is running 5, two are at 6, one at 7, with the latest running 8. Due to several bad experiences, newer versions are installed only when the machine can be taken down and the disks reformatted. Running an older version is not the end of the world, but a 13 month support cycle seams a bit short. ... -------------------------------------------------- I know this is the Redhat list but, if you need longer term support, then take a look at Ubuntu server edition. Every two years they desiganate a release "LTS" (Long Term Support) and support it for five years. They just released the latest "8.04 LTS" version this spring. Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS, the first maintenance update was released in July. So now is probably a pretty good time to give it a try: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download Dave M. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
