I have been running Fedora 14 since it came out and have never installed an update (well, okay, I manually installed the Shellshock patch and do run my own custom kernel). I'm still waiting for an intrusion or something to go wrong. I am behind a pretty good firewall and don't do anything really stupid with my systems. I have to say 14 was and is the best Fedora they ever came out with.
Been using since it was Red Hat Linux 6, if I recall correctly. Though I never tried 14, I skipped several releases after Fedora 9.
I can't say I've ever encountered an externally caused problems. I've had crashes related to video, that have usually gone away with updates, thanks to having to put with /some/ NVidia or ATI cards.
Basically every time I run an update, on anything, something goes wrong.
Can't say I've had that.
I was great at IBM as a quality control person because nothing ever got past me!
I work in video production, and one of the local equipment suppliers used to use me as their "fussy customer" litmus test. If I didn't pick something out as a problem, they were pretty sure that nobody else would.
Can you point me to where one of these other terminals is? The only reason I can still use one or make more is because there were some already opened before I ran the update.
Often, one can type "term" in a command line, and get a basic term, instead of gnome-term, or mate-term, or the command name for some other terminal type. I don't seem to be able to do that at the moment, but I have in the past. Perhaps my MATE install on Fedora 20 didn't bother installing extra ones. Might be worth doing so, for future problem solving.
