Fedora looks more current. Is there anything in WB that is not in FC1?
Yes, theoretical support for the current version till 2008.. :)
Makes using Fedora great for desktops and development systems and WBEL
great from production servers..
Let's be cristal clear there, you might get support for Whitebox Linux but it won't come from Red Hat.
Yes that is understood.. Maybe I should have worded my comment slightly differently..
I should have said that there will be theoretically be errata updates for a longer period than is presently being offered by Fedora.. There is in fact no support for Whitebox Linux other than from the Whitebox community..
Okay, so that begs the question...IIRC, the Fedora community will only support a released version of FC for approx two months after the release of a new version, which means that FC1 and RHL9 will both have their errata/security update support discontinued at about the same time. For what amount of time is the WBEL community committing to support a released version after the next one comes out?
And will errata/security updates be available via up2date/yum/apt/some other automated scheme?
It uses up2date with YUM as the back end just the same as Fedora does..
At lease this is all from what I have read on the website and in their mailing list archives..
Later..
