Hi, As a desktop, Fedora is the best solution. Should I use the best 2nd solution? (Ubuntu). Maybe if we take *some* releases to LLT, lets say, Fedora N, Fedora N+4. The intermediary releases will be "non LLT".... Well, I know that Fedora have to worry about all releases, but if we have few people to work it should be one point. Maybe it looks crazy. P.S.: I'm sorry for my poor english. 2008/10/11 Arthur Pemberton <pemboa@xxxxxxxxx>: > On Sat, Oct 11, 2008 at 4:55 PM, Henrique Junior <henriquecsj@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> Hello, everyone, >> I would like to share with you an situation related to Fedora's time >> of life that comes to me in recent days. >> I was recently promoted to Software Manager in the governmental >> partition where I work.
