Fedora has pretty cutting edge kernels that are bound to have bugs. Be realistic in your expectations. And the abrt system helps developers learn about the bugs in the kernel so they can be fixed. Would you rather have a kernel with more bugs or less bugs? > Give us back the assurance of never having to reboot. Kernel updates that fix exploits & bugs require a reboot to activate that new kernel. Alternatively you could get Oracle's ksplice service while you can. Even RHEL/CentOS occasionally get new kernels which require a reboot. I have never come across an Internet facing box that did not require a reboot at some point. > Give us back the legendary reliability that was the hallmark of > Linux and Fedora. Fedora & legendary reliability? As much as I like Fedora and use it daily, for anything that requires legendary reliability I use RHEL/CentOS.
