I have been trying to build a local repository of the Fedora 10 updates, but now there is Fedora 11. Yikes!
I wish there was an attempt to take a stable distro like CentOS which works without updates and add modern features to it. I realize that CentOS is an enterprise distribution that tries to follow RHEL, but the problem is that there needs to be something between CentOS and Fedora. It isn't easy to build local update repositories, or maybe I just am not the best at it. I find the Ubuntu root business with sudo a bit odd. I am also uncomfortable with the fact that Ubuntu tends to be installed from a CD that doesn't contain most of the Ubuntu packages. I don't want to use a Linux distribution that isn't supported for very long if I'm expected to go to the Internet to get packages for it. Even though Ubuntu is supposedly a desktop operating system, I know my brother uses it on his server system. The nice thing about CentOS is that you can literally order a DVD for it and without the updates it will work. I wish there was a Linux distro that takes Fedora and fixes anything that breaks before making a new release. No updates between releases. Frequent releases with the ability to upgrade existing systems. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
