Greetings all I am quite new to this list, although I am a long time Linux admin (and even longer time Unix admin).

Now may not be the best time to jump in. I can only verify this. At the moment yum wants to update most of my system to .i586 packages which luckily fails big time because of dependency conflicts. > Rahul's reply gives you very sound and sensible advice which you should > follow.

We have just rolled out new PC's to everyone (switching from XP to Vista) while also enforcing a new rule; only one PC for each employee. Meaning you get either a desktop PC or a laptop. So my laptop is also my main work desktop. And in this windows-centric anvironment using OCS, exchange, Sharepoint and so on my laptop runs Fedora. And not only Fedora, it runs Rawhide. And not only rawhide. You may guess it... I run x86_64. Asking for trouble? Oh, yes. Getting it? Oh, yes! Loving it? Oh, yes!!! I feel like a giraffe, sticking my neck that far out. By the way... At the present my system needs to reboot quite often (reminds me of windows, actually), so I really love the new boot optimisations combined with SSD. From grub starts it's less than 10 seconds until the graphical login is ready. I assume these instabilities will go away as soon as gcc is debugged and everything rebuilt. Well... At least some of them. > neither my main work system nor my mail server have broken down > irretrievably and left me weeping tears of frustration and self-loathing > yet, but that doesn't mean a) i'm not an idiot or b) they won't do so in > future. So listen to Rahul, not me. :) I don't listen to anybody! :-D Not even to myself! -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
