I wouldn't probably say that the users are primarily testers, but getting to use new stuff sooner than the users of some other distros is certainly one aspect of Fedora. Another important factor is the reluctancy to include a lot of backwards-compatibility stuff, like older versions of certain libraries, for example. If the fast-paced and "living" nature of Fedora doesn't suit, it's certainly wise to consider using a more conservative distribution. -- Joonas Sarajärvi muepsj@xxxxxxxxx -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
