Bummer.
Depending on how you look at it, it does. Fedora's long-term support version is Red Hat Enterprise Linux, or for most of us, CentOS. RHEL 7 just hit its first beta release, and it's based off of Fedora 19. CentOS 7 will probably release a beta by February once they get the branding changed. If anyone wants to try the new beta, you can download the iso from http://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/rhel/beta/7/x86_64/iso/ During the beta period, it looks like if you remove the "subscription-manager" rpm package from the system, yum will use the default, open repository on RH's beta ftp site. However, when the beta period is over, the yum repository will go away, and you'll need a standard RHN subscription. Once the EPEL repositories catch up and bring media support, I imagine that for some of us, Centos 7 might be a decent desktop OS for a few years. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
