Subject: [ATrpms-users] Fedora vs. CentOS - Thoughts
I thought I would bring this thought here. I've been running MythTV on Fedora
almost since the beginning, but that means a 6-12 month upgrade cycle,
depending on whether I do it every version, or every other version. I can now
wipe and redo my systems like a pro, for thsat reason.
I thought, since I know some people on list use CentOS, if anyone had any
thoughts about moving to CentOS from Fedora for MythTV backends/frontends
they might want to share.
Hi Disafan.
I'm running Centos 5.5 and also have been using Fedora
since version 6. Now on F12.
Running Centos is like going back in time 3 years or so.
I do prefer the longer lifetime of Centos, as opposed to
Fedora's 12 months at the most.
There are a few repos like ATrpms that support extra
multimedia packages for Centos.
