I got hit too .. I worked around the issue, but it definitely sucked that this happened with stable updates.

But everything is fine again. Thanks.

A distro with experimental, unstable, testing, proposed, security and stable update repos would be something!

You mean Debian ?

Debian

I love Debian. No matter how long I wait between installs, it always seems to stay the same :)

Fedora has (in roughly descending order of firehose velocity):

  • rawhide
  • updates-testing
  • updates
  • updates --bugfixes --security
  • updates --security
  • updates --bz 123
  • updates pkg-foo

Lack of choice is not the problem, IMNSHO, and thus. more choice is not the solution.

www.distrowatch.org has plenty of other distros to choose from. CentOS and, as mentioned, Debian are two popular ones that are stable and don't use experimental or untested code.

the whole point of fedora is that it's bleeding edge and it's where all the stability testing for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (and subsequently CentOS) comes from.
