Yes, and for reference the current release is Fedora 27. Jumping straight to F27 might be risky, so I'd do it in four steps: 1. Back up your system first! Do it now! Don't wait! 2. Upgrade F25 to F26: sudo dnf --releasever=26 system-upgrade reboot (upgrade to F26) sudo dnf --refresh -y upgrade (update F26 fully) 3. Upgrade F26 to F27: sudo dnf --releasever=27 system-upgrade reboot (upgrade to F27) sudo dnf --refresh -y upgrade (update F27 fully) 4. Reboot F27. Now you're current and can do what you want. I believe the latest kernel for F27 (4.14.11-300) has the fix. If not, you WILL get it on the next kernel update. What Michael was saying is that F25 is dead and will not receive any future updates. Remember that each Fedora release cycle is about 6 months, and 30 days after the release of Fedora N+2, Fedora N is at end-of-life (EOL). Thus, the release of F26 forced EOL for F24, F27 forced EOL for F25 and (in about five months) F28 will force EOL of F26. You get the idea. If you need something longer lived, then use CentOS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - "Hello.
