I think > it's fair comment that Fedora tends towards the "bleeding edge". As I've said before, Fedora is essentially the beta of RHEL and (eventually) CentOS. It tends to use more "current" versions of things than RHEL/CentOS uses, and hence, more teething issues. Is it bleeding edge? Well, moreso than a "stable" release like RHEL or CentOS (or Ubuntu LTS, for example). Eventually, Fedora accumulates enough stability and feature changes that a snapshot of it gets "frozen", tweaked, and becomes the next major release of RHEL. A tweaked version of F18 (I think) was the basis for RHEL/CentOS 7. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Blessed are the peacekeepers...for they shall be shot at - - from both sides. --A.M.
