Re: Need a statement on Fedora's purpose

Not really.  It is the next thing that is stable after the
bleeding edge.  Think LibreOffice and Firefox and the kernel.
Are the repo's on the latest version?  They are not.
Just the one behind it usually.

I look at Fedroa as up-to-date, not bleeding edge.  You
can get bleeding edge elsewhere if you want.  Bleeding edge
would be the 5.0 kernel, etc..

Oh, you know what?

$ uname -r
5.0.3-200.fc29.x86_64

Closer to the edge.


And, by the way. RHEL is so BUGGY that it won't even support
the C236 chipset.  Cost me about 2000 u$d in free consulting
to figure that out.

7.2 not compatible with C236 and RSTe motherboard

Reported: 2016-07-07 03:30 UTC by Todd  (me by the way)

And RHEL won't even do anything about it either.  Had I
reported this bug under Fedora, I doubt it would have
gone past a month before they fixed it.  These and
other BUG in RHEL almost drive me INSANE and why I
dump them for Fedora, which I an still tickled with.

I think that the term "stable" here should be replaced
with "buggy".  RHEL is intensely buggy and their bugs seldom
get fixed; Fedora has a few bugs, but they are rapidly
taken care of.

You are right, bleeding edge is another word used too often and not always describes Fedora well. For me it is *recent* and *up-to-date* in comparison with other distros but not bleeding edge as in some rolling distributions but maybe close.

I never used RHEL, I only have experience with CentOS and I never found it buggy, on the contrary.
