But I thought that is what the legacy project was for. I used FC1 until
last summer when I was between projects. I will stay with FC4 until I
know I can get a reasonably safe install and the applications I use on a
daily basis are in the repositories.
Yes, I think you're right, that is what the legacy project is there for.
Well the yum update seemed to have a whole lot of items for FC4,
like 500 and one upgraded Open Office to version 2.0. It is likely that
some new thing like a modified Firefox comes over the Internet from
Firefox direct. And it's no problem at all.
And my idea of old is sure a longer period than the one used by
Fedora. I will keep FC4 for several years. There is no reason not to
since it's doing what I want just fine after initial bugs were yummed out.
