As you have included the original lines of my posting I'll expand on the comment of using something like It's released when it's released". If any of you (like myself) use(d) multiple OS's (mainly the BSD line) in recent years, you'll remember that release cycles most often can be met. Some of these OS's (or more precisely Unix-Like OS's) have had issues (as Fedora is now) with release dates. It's been my experience that some of these OS's have taken the approach that I have mentioned. Granted, that in itself it comes across as pompous yet it does not pigeon-hole any one distro (used here for Linux) to a set date. I started with Fedora 7 (after my initial introduction to Linux via Ubuntu from being nothing but a BSD munkie). And as many Fedorians do, went into F8 and loved it. That love affair ended with the install of F9. To me (No flames intended and only MY experience) F9 was a disaster. Every time an update came out (and IIRC - that happened often for the first 2 months) it broke my system. At this time I was a fully converted Linux nut and Fedora was installed on every box and lappy I had. The terrible experience I had with F9 reminded me of the days when MS seemingly pushed out a bad service pack that appeared to be odd number related (some of you here may indeed remember those days). To tie this all up neatly - while I have since moved on to a distro where the release cycle isn't nearly as aggressive as Fedora, I still do care and keep an eye on the list. While I do use (and love) Cent for our servers, I can't commit to it for my desktop. I do look forward to 11 though. It may not be enough to move me back just yet - but I can still hope. ... now maybe I don't appear so Troll-like (granted, I do have hair on my toes). -- Best regards, Chris () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments "There's no place like 127.0.0.1" -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
