I think anyone else with the attitude of the disappointed need to go ahead and switch and learn a few lessons about what open source is. We don't need all the free luncher cry baby junk day in and day out. That was one of the most uninformed postings I have ever seen. Go download Debian, use it for a while, and see another open source distro in action. Then make a comparison between the development model of Debian and Fedora. Then dwell on your switch and the reason you became upset over Fedora, and what you are actually looking for. You obviously have been using RH8 or 9 and up2date which you'll have in Fedora as well. If you need longer release cycles...spend some money. Ask yourself, have I contributed to any open source project(coded, donated any money, tested, or anything at all?). The main point is you need to figure out what open source is and read a bit about something before you start all the whining and writing flame junk mail. This list is a users list not an abusers list. RH gives us hand outs and then moves to a more open platform, and still keeps giving, keeps their developers on the project, and they can't make some people happy. One thing to keep in mind: The individual projects get updated as minor releases are released from their web sites, thus how long have the release cycles actually been. Same thing Microsoft XP is doing if you are auto updating. Some of this reminds me of a poem.... I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough Without ever having felt sorry for itself. --D.H.
