My two cents: I like very much the idea of a planned release date. Even on my small home network of a dozen physical instances (and twice that many virtual), it makes it easier to plan. For a business I can see how a release schedule is helpful and even necessary. Kudos to the developers and Fedora/RedHat folks for striving to make that schedule. As to the shifting release date, I actually prefer that they slip and explain why the schedule slipped than not do so. I was a longtime user of another popular distro but moved away precisely because of their release schedules (or lack thereof) and the complete lack of information. As with you, FC6 is working great on my test machines and the reason I don't drop it onto my main laptop is that I want a pristine FC6-final versus an FC6T3 that's been updated to the same level as the final. -- * The Digital Hermit http://www.digitalhermit.com * Unix and Linux Solutions kwan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
