F16 is a currently supported version of Fedora until about November. If you are the owner of a single machine then a re-install is tedious but not too time-consuming every 6 months. If you are the admin for a dozen machines or more then re-installing all of them every 6 months is a pretty tedious business - and like quite a few other people I re-install usually annually on the majority of Fedora machines for that reason. For quite a lot of other people a rolling release distribution makes less work when maintaining a significant number of machines - and indeed I am moving my machines progressively over to a rolling release distribution for that reason. I now get to be more up to date than current Fedora on those machines running the rolling release distribution. So even if I was running F17 I would not be as up to date as Archlinux for this particular package set. We all have choices - and I asked a simple and perfectly valid question - your kind of reply can lead to bad feeling on a list like this! -- mike c -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
