I don't remember where, probably the Fedora site, but I read that the goal of Fedora will be to produce a quality product on the bleeding edge but not a dumping ground for partial or non-working modules. (my terrible paraphrase). I suspect that Fedora will work well for a period of time, but maintenance on one version will cease upon release of the second version after it. It might be that it will be stable enough to operate for long periods but just not be protected from the vulnerabilities that may later be found. My 2c.

In an ideal world, I'd like to see: Two "Fedora" tags: A) "Bleeding Edge Kernel/GLibC" (like old RHL .0 releases) B) "RHEL Compatible Kernel/GLibC" (not necessarily ABI, but at least API compatible) But I'll settle for any "well integration tested" 'Fedora Core' at this point. I'm hoping Red Hat puts enough people on Fedora that we have just that within 6 months. I would call that a "success." Everything else will come with time and effort. Red Hat can't do it all, but I believe they will do all they can to help the community. They have yet to tell me otherwise. > David (who is also looking into ways to convince work (= university) > to allocate some budget for RHEL...) I hear you. Maybe if things stop working that _might_ get management to free up the dough. -- Bryan J.
