What is significantly different between the situation a secretary in an office desktop writing texts/browsing the web etc. is in and those of your Grandmother/ your 10 year old son doing the same @home? None. In both situations you will need a sysadmin. What is the difference between somebody archiving his photographs in a database-server @home and somebody archiving his photographs in a database-server @work? None. Both servers contain valuable data, both servers need a fairly high reliability. What is more valuable? Your digital wedding holiday's photographs @home or your latest RH work @RH? > >> Majority of updates are backported patches to maintain ABI compatibility. Irrelevant from a desktop USER's POV. To them, what matters is "their application simply works". Ralf -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
