And we are wanting to deploy on a production ready/stable release? Doesn't the current Fedora for development, and CentOS/RHEL for production not satisfy your need? I think the only thing missing from your need is a smooth "in-place" upgrade capability? But how often is development done (for a year or so) that then becomes the actual production system? Would not the production system be installed in parallel as you approached the timeframe for deployment? --Rob -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
