> Its ultimate goal is to produce production quality user ready > distributions. I don't agree with that. If I want "production quality" linux I will probably look for centOS http://www.centos.org/. I don't expect the cutting edge technology and stable release at the same time. Everything is the moving target. The balancing part is yours. I guess the use of word "production quality" in the context of Fedora is plane wrong. The first line of Fedoraporject webpage http://fedoraproject.org/ states that "Fedora is a Linux-based operating system that showcases the latest in free and open source software. " The emphasis on the word "showcases the latest". Stabilizing our system is our own responsibility I guess. There are millions of users with millions of needs (uses) plus millions of different hardware. This is where the main strength of (linux / *NIX) comes into play ... "Customization". What I understand is that Fedora is the "general purpose" linux distribution and its installation system just reflects that. Unlike ubuntu, which has special release for Desktop version and Server release. I am not against any distro but my personal opinion is I will learn,understand and tweak linux better the Fedora way than Ubuntu way. This might be my biased opinion because I have been using this distro since RedHat 7.0. For me just playing mp3 out of the box doesn't make another distro cool. So all that said, Fedora just don't promise that it will be "production quality" but yet it still can be of that quality. If sounds to me the use of word "production quality" is synonymous with "user friendly which works out of the box" than the "stability as in rock solid". -- ======================= Registered Linux User #460714 Currently Using Fedora 8, 10 ======================= -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
