Not true.
Yes, Fedora Core 2 is in "legacy" status, but that simply means that
the Fedora project itself is not producing updates. That's what the
Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) is for, and they
are now fully maintaining security updates for FC2 as well as FC1,
RedHat 9 and RedHat 7.3.
They're doing a great service for the RedHat/Fedora-using Linux
community and should not be overlooked. Their work has kept a good
number of my well-working RH9 boxes from being forced onto the
upgrade treadmill.
Thanks. That's really good to know. I'll check into that. I have an
FC1 and an FC2 box which should be updated. I'd rather do that right
now then move them up to FC3. Especially the file server.
I'm currently on rh9. I wish to move up (even though I'm still on a
slow ancient computer). Should I make the move straight to fc3? Or
should I consider going for fc2?
How long has fc3 been out? And how stable is it?
