You say a market for this is the corporate desktop, but a government department I work with runs their scientific desktops on RHEL 4. They have a lot of in-house apps that are known to work on that platform. There is absolutely no sense in expending resources on switching to a newer version until that version's EOL is in sight. -- Mat Booth www.matbooth.co.uk -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
