I have a number of relatively unsophisticated users running CentOS as their desktop and they're quite happy. Oh, they look at my stuff and "ooh" and "aah" at some of the niftiness, but they'll get it when it's stable. <soap> MacOS doesn't release often and Macs are very controlled environments and don't have to cater to millions of different hardware combos unlike most Linux environments. Windows hasn't had a major release since Windows 7, just bug and security fixes (lots of those). Windows stability? Remember the travesty that was Vista? Fedora is, by definition, experimental. If one wishes stability, then use CentOS or RHEL or another "stable" release. I can't name another OS with a 6-month (more or less) lifetime. We are on the bleeding edge with Fedora. It's called that because you must expect to be wounded occasionally when playing with sharp objects. </soap> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, C2 Hosting ricks@xxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Fear is finding a ".vbs" script in your Inbox - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
