Hi Matthew, Looking forward to this release. I haven't read the release notes yet, however I have a few questions or comments. If "read the release notes" is the best answer, please feel free to say so :).

I'm interested in running SLC containers on Fedora hosts. Does any of these packages facilitate that? What I understood so far is, it allows me to run the latest Fedora containers in other places easily. Where would one go looking for info for a need like mine? > * Cockpit will be compatible between OS releases -- Cockpit is a > server manager that makes it easy to administer your GNU/Linux > servers via a web browser. > > - Easy to use.

I tried this a bit already, I like the convenience of having everything aggregated together, however I'm a bit uneasy that a browser is the interface. After all it is the most vulnerable application on most machines. Are there other (safer) interfaces I can try, preferably on the CLI? Am I being unreasonably paranoid? I'm really interested in trying the multi-server bits. Any pointers? > * Better notifications. [...chomp...chomp...chomp...] > details.

Is this desktop agnostic? I use XFCE.

Does this make a significant difference during development when I want my projects to also compile with older GCC like 4.[89]? > Fedora's FedUp utility enables an easy upgrade to Fedora 22 from > previous releases.

I find it strange that no release so far has supported yum (or dnf now) as one of the upgrade methods. And yet, I have had the most reliable upgrade experiences with it since F12 or so! Any reason why this is the case? I think it is the method that allows for the shortest of downtimes. Thanks for the release. Looking forward to trying it! Cheers, -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
