And in what are you using those 30+ usable system
They are all in the same building.
So being in the same building is why you are multi booting them?
No.
I really don't understand the question or why you are asking it.
To see if there is an actual reason for you to be using multiboot in the
first place.
What exactly are you developing or test being developed?
and why aren't you running Fedora only on them?
This is a test list, so I subscribe because I'm a tester. My role is
discovering and reporting reproducible problems in software. Fedora is
both testing tool and test subject. None of the testing I do requires
a complete PC be constrained to a single operating system.
You could just as well wipe those machine clean and perform a fresh OS
test on a fresh install ( along with what ever hw driver development you
are into ) of what ever OS you have running each time you are performing
test.
I test diverse kinds of software. Operating systems are just one
software class among them. OS installation is among the most time
consuming and lowest priority tests I perform. I often clone and
upgrade the clone in order to avoid the OS installation process. Due
to my experience with the pre-release F18 installer, all my F19
installations have been made via partition clone and Yum upgrade.
So you are using unsupported method of upgrading Fedora to test your
application on Fedora and your company supports running application on a
upgraded host which is a) upgraded b) via the unofficial method of the
distribution?
I repeat: Fedora here is both testing tool and test subject.
Interference between the two functions needs to be limited. Wiping is
antithetical to my limitation methodology and primary goals.
And what I'm saying we should not blocking the release for that.
We are first and foremost shipping our distribution to be used as
primary OS on our users HW just like any other OS does.
