(I'm new here and probably this was discussed before) Why don't we have a kind of LTS version for some releases? That could be really useful for those users who can't afford RHEL and don't want use free community rebuilds. Fedora could be an alternative if we had some version with a longer lifecycle, and I believe this could also help RedHat too because there would be more people running on servers, exactly where their product is more used. More users, more bugs reported and fixed, more stability and reliability. I'm a Ambassador here in Brazil and my role at the project is promoting Fedora. Lots of people I talk here argue they don't use it not because the bleeding edge software but because they just can't reinstall a system every 6 or 12 months or upgrade to a newer version. This same argument is often used by people who say Fedora is a distribution for developers who want to aligned to brand new stuff and not to Desktop users, for the same reasons stated above. All we know Fedora is a great distro, and F11 is as good as any mainstream distributions, but I just can't say people's arguments are FUD, because they are quite right about what they say. I know this may be not the main goal of this project, but a longer lifecycle version in 5 or 6 releases could change this situation, and also could help us reaching more users and different markets. That's was my 2 cents. :) Regards, Leo -- Leonardo Menezes Vaz ++55 51 91568225 www.tchelinux.org -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
