Fedora lifetime and stability

[zotkop]

As for a long life (if you can call it that) OS, you should use Windows! ><
>> as for whom don't understand, this was a little joke

As an experimenting expired teenager (21) I've been using Linux for about 5
years now.
@ first, I just downloaded like all kinds of linux (an installed them
ALL!!!), i have to admit, I have to admit, i had a lot of time back those
days.
After 2 years I had FC5 and Suse 9.xx running. I got frustrated when Suse
10.xx introduced the supersize-me menu. (and now Vista did the same!) :(
As I saw Fedora move on, the way I liked the gui, I started to use it on
both machines.
Now I invested a lot of money on books and stuff for fedora and installed
even my homebrew server based on fedora. (even if it's not the most stable
os)
I spend a lot of time in the dark, searching for random stuff, like how to
get my asus usb-modem to work, tweak the os for my needs, install games,
etc..

Now this is WHY I use Fedora.
I just love to be in that dark room, spending time @ flashing console
screens, lovely man-pages and other -at-the-end- useless stuff.
If I hated the upgrading, the solving, the tweaking, etc... I'd use RHEL ,
CentOS or mac.

I guess it all starts at the point where you have too choose your flavour of
OS.

My opinion is that Fedora is, for me, the best OS EVER! (for now) :) ;)
It feels like a toboggan. You have to klimb the stairs, get the ride of your
life, and have to klimb them again to do it over and over and over and ...
