Fedora 10 End of LifeFedora 10 End of LifePosted Dec 22, 2009 15:28 UTC (Tue) by compte (guest, #60316)In reply to: Fedora 10 End of Life by patrick_g Parent article: Fedora 10 End of Life
Turning to Debian or Debian based distros, like Ubuntu, for someone used to rpms implies a major adaptation since these are not rpm based. If you plan to make use of the GUI and little else than Ubuntu could do but... must not forget that Eeebuntu 4.0 changed to Debian Unstable because "Ubuntu is proving more difficult to customize with each release".
CentOS is Red Hat and Fedora based but has too few packages outside is main files. Other distros don't surpass Fedora and are a small community or are not free. There are up-to-date firefox versions for fc10 in par with fc12, these don't appear in the Updates page. RHEL seems to be the only viable and stable option but I would like to hear other thoughts.

With CentOS/RHEL you can also install the EPEL repo. which doubles the
package count. That might also climb when 6.0 hits, and people (semi- )automatically get F12 => EPEL packages ... but realistically there just isn't going to be the same kind of package count in RHEL+EPEL as in Fedora.
