You're going to have to expound on that. I do not see Centos in any way as in competition with Fedora.

I feel Fedora could do better. Sure. With more devs, servers, time, etc. But baring a sudden increase in those, I would much prefer to see Fedora focus on dev and testing, let other distros pretty things up. >> > This situation seems to be reflected in the Fedora project itself. >> > Guess, how many Fedora infrastructure servers are run under the latest >> > "stable" Fedora release? >> >> As few as possible. > IMO, a fundamental management/infrastructure mistake - If these people > were using Fedora, they would be facing the issues Fedora users are > facing everyday and likely would being to understand why people complain > about Fedora.

Well, it's not really an issue. It's only an issue if you run Fedora on your production servers. Which, again is up to you, not recommended, and as such no one expects users to "solve" this problem either. -- Fedora 9 : sulphur is good for the skin ( www.pembo13.com ) -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
