I'm annoyed at their interpretation that "three years" means three years from the day somebody else gives a physical copy to yet somebody else. I'd have interpreted it to mean three years from the date they stop distributing binaries from their central site. > given the general purpose nature of a distribution like fedora, it > contains a ton of stuff which is not necessarily essential to our > purposes, so we are on the hook twice for any of that... > > at that point it makes more sense to me, to roll a custom distribution > or a different distribution which might better fit our purposes (and > all of the work that that entails/maintaining 2 os's instead of one). Is Scientific Linux (www.scientificlinux.org) very much different from Fedora? I haven't found any License on their site other than a quote of the GPL, no comments like Fedora has but they still have their first version from 2004 on line. Otherwise I'd go the Debian way. FWIW, I have a Virtualbox VDI of a Fedora-thirteenish that successfully compiled CapROS, it's 3.8 GB ready-to-boot and 1.1 GB gzipped. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
