The new Fedora ProjectThe new Fedora ProjectPosted Sep 25, 2003 12:12 UTC (Thu) by pto (guest, #5753)Parent article: The new Fedora Project I worry that it is in Red Hat's interests to keep Fedora Linux unstable. With "2 to 3" releases a year, no single Fedora release is likely to gain the kind of wide support and usage that Red Hat 7.x had, which made it a kind of defacto standard and indeed spawned Red Hat Enterprise. I think we need a free, stable Linux, as well as more experimental distributions. I follow projets like Blackdown and Ximian Desktop, and I think they will have trouble keeping up with a new Fedora every 4 months. So I may need to move to SuSE or Debian. And, I'll note that if I don't use Red Hat for my day-to-day personal use, I'm less likely to recommend Red Hat Enterprise for my corporate use.

The new Fedora Project Posted Sep 25, 2003 14:23 UTC (Thu) by mattdm (subscriber, #18) [Link] Seems like a vald concern. But "2 to 3" isn't much different from "2", is it?
The new Fedora Project & Ximian Posted Sep 25, 2003 14:43 UTC (Thu) by jeremiah (guest, #1221) [Link] I Hope that Ximian support Fedora. I worry that they won't. However they may actully find it easier to support since the development process will be more open, they might even be able to steer it a bit. I also wonder if they will be supporting the RedHat Enterprise Stuff. That's what I plan to use at work and push to clients but if there's no Ximian, then I won't push the WS stuff.Bluecurve is just so far behind Ximian that's it's almost unuseable in comparison.
The new Fedora Project & Ximian Posted Sep 25, 2003 18:26 UTC (Thu) by elanthis (subscriber, #6227) [Link] I'm personally hoping Novell/Ximian make their own desktop distro. Ximian mentioned it would be a nice thing, they just couldn't do it before. Not that they *will* do it now, only it's slightly more possible now with Novell's market and money behind them.
