Really? You saying that Fedora 7 came out before RHEL5? Looking at the calendar, it's a pretty simple Fedora Core 6, RHEL/CentOS 5, Fedora 7.

If the latest bling is not a requirement, then explain why CentOS is insufficient in providing the "long term solution"? I'm still not seeing the "need" for an LTS Fedora.... --Rob -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
