You don't want untested updates going to your 500 machines * I don't think you're going to label running your desktops on a Ubuntu LTS release as a "bad thing" * As I understand it, Fedora Legacy died out of lack of interest, not due to some intentional action -- 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
