And this is why I know of a few data centers already considering the move
to slackware for all new boxes and gradual replacements over time, I
think RH have lost a lot of friends with this move, the days of RH
populating data centers are gone, with a support of only a few months
fedora will never see its way in there, can you imagine a center with
hundreds and hundreds of boxes runing around replaceing it every 3
months?
I cant, some of our servers are still running 7.3, cause we knew RH will
put out errata if its seriou enough, general updates who cares, get the
tarball, looks like thats how we'll be updateing untill we decide which
way to go, update by tarballs in future, or move onto slackware or suse.
Time will tell...
