Remember that when you contemplate the following. Suppose for a moment that this is a theatrical lighting console application. (I know of at least one that runs Linux underneath.) It won't be connected to the Internet, at least not directly.that still does not explain why not using a distribution which offers secruity updates for ten years like CentOS6 which is based on fedora AND even offers GNOME2 - sorry there is simply no reason using fedora 14 as abse for anything in this world i saw so many people failing by "security is not relvent here and there" what are you doing with F14 on new hardware when you get no kernel updates? CentOS get's kernel updates with recent hardware drivers only this should explain why choosing a EOL F14 for embedded is stupid
For a lightboard with everything embedded and large portions on fixed storage
you don't want or have facilities for updates. You want stability. You have
your head stuck on update rather than stability. Or are you telling me that
Linux is basically not a secure operating system and desperately needs daily
update capability in order to survive? What OS would you suggest they use for
an embedded system?
Bring some flexibility to your thinking. And do give other people some credit
for having IQs above that of field mouse. It would help your image.
