You must speak for oneself, Reindl
no - having unsupported operating systems in production
and connected to the internet is plain stupid, you
can put your head in the sand and ignore it, but thats
the fact
I myself still run several F14
big mistake
so far I do not want upgrade them, simply for several reasons
there is no one
they are quite stable, much more than F16+ ones (F15 was rather
unusable, I almost avoid it).
you must do something wrong
had F15, F16 and now F17 in production
they are stable
- they works as I want, not as wind blows (yes, have you someone
tried
e.g. switch to runlevel 1 and then back to runlevel 5 (oops,
rescue.target/graphical.target ;)
what are you doing taht you nedd runlevel 1?
- they use stable pretty Gnome2 WM
who needs GNOME?
- they act as LTSP (Linux Terminal Server Project) servers (which
seems dead with F15+)
well and why the hell do you use fedora
if you need RHEL/CentOS?
Of course, some drawback is that F14 isn't supported yet and I
have
package some important packages itself, but this isn't too big
problem.
ah and you package all of the security updates too?
And yes, if I had know 2 years back how will be next Fedora
development take, then I should have at these boxes Centos or some
*buntu distro (where is LTSP supported well).
you have only two options
* upgrade
* pull the network cable
As rather optimist, I hope F19 will be at least so good as F14 was
F17/F18 are stable and working fine
F18 only if you upgrade from F17 because anaconda
