I put a new top post out there, pointing to this thread (by which you hijacked
the outer thread which is a no-no, but by doing so you punished yourself by
making your thread invisible :-) ).

Anyway, you have to do some thinking.
I understand that you are hesitant to upgrade your F5.

You should understand that Fedora is a very fast moving distro, and selecting
it for something that you intend to keep running without much interference for
many years is not wise. Fedora makes itself obsolete with regard to updates
(regular and security) every 1 year or 2 releases. After that you may assume
that no update procedure will work for you. And any call for help, local or
on the Internet, may be just fruitless. Problems will just mount.

So, perhaps you should consider a clone of Red Hat like CentOS or Scientific
Linux (see: http://distrowatch.com/index.php?language=EN) and be fine for at
least 10 years or so. Besides, they are very stable.

Take this into consideration while discussing your options here.
