Probably. Yesterday I saw a question on a web forum from a student who was trying to get something done in Linux for his class. He'd installed Fedora Core 5 from the CD that came with the book he had to use and wanted to know how to get it to do something. Alas, the only good answer (that I didn't give) was to drop the class and demand his money back because the version of Fedora he was expected to use was several years out of date. Currently, the only versions of Fedora that are supported (or receive updates) are F 17 and F 18. There have been so many major changes in the way things are done in Fedora since Fedora Core 5 that almost nothing that he could learn in that class would still be relevant. For those of you using Windows, imagine a class on Windows that required you to use Windows Me, and you'll get what I'm talking about.
