I'm a bit more conservative than Jarod, so I run Fedora about 4-5 months into the release cycle. Pretty much all the problems have been solved at that point. Yeah, I'm not a great tester for them, but I send them feature patches. :) My office server has been yum upgraded since Redhat 9 (none of the hardware is original anymore except for the CPU). It's gonna get Fedora 9 in the next couple weeks. Only FC1 to FC2 was tricky - that was Linux 2.4 to Linux 2.6. Some folks had issues when things switch from /dev/hd* to /dev/sd* but I didn't, I use md devices for everything. Regardless all the dragons are well-described in the support docs, and release notes (the what?). Bruce, I recall when we went around on this last time most all the software you wanted was in Fedora 9. If it's gonna make it easy to get your work done 363 days of the year, and 2 are wasted on admin, that's not such a bad trade-off. -Bill ----- Bill McGonigle, Owner Work: 603.448.4440 BFC Computing, LLC Home: 603.448.1668 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cell: 603.252.2606 http://www.bfccomputing.com/ Page: 603.442.1833 Blog: http://blog.bfccomputing.com/ VCard: http://bfccomputing.com/vcard/bill.vcf _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
