Getting hard numbers on the number of Centos installs the same way Fedora is could really help raise the level of awareness of how pervasise Cento is is out in the wild. I think Centos is flying under the radar a bit too much, but for that to change Centos users need to be encouraged to be a little more vocal about its use. -jef. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
