I'm running 2.6.3 under Fedora-1, and didn't find any need for "a lot of misc fixups". I just compiled the vanilla kernel. (I've never understood why this is not standard. I don't particularly want to use someone else's choice of modules.) Admittedly I had to compile module-init-tools, but as far as I could see there isn't a Fedora RPM for this anyway. I can see that a new distribution is sometimes essential, eg if there is an incompatible change in the C library. As the person who asked the original question, I don't object to new distributions -- I was just wondering why the powers-that-be go to so much trouble when as far as I can see it is quite unnecessary. I'll upgrade to FC-2 when it comes out, but it seems this will just be like a rather large up2date. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
