Fedora release cycle and maintenance is independent of RHEL. In short: There's a new Fedora release every 6 months. And each release is maintained/supported for 13 months. (Also note: Even Fedora-16 will go End-of-Life once Fedora-18 releases, which is just around the corder) You can read about Fedora release life-cycle here (specifically 'Maintenance Schedule') - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Release_Life_Cycle > > -- /kashyap _______________________________________________ libvirt-users mailing list libvirt-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users
