IMHO Fedora 8 is still too new and untested to be used in production environments. There are still a lot of bugs to iron out. So my suggestion is that you upgrade to Fedora 7 and run that until that gets end of lifed, then you upgrade to 8 and so on. Just continue using FC6 will put a strong burden on you, doing all the security related patchin yourself. Another option would be to switch to CentOS. Then you still have the Red Hat feel, but each release is supported over a longer period of time. <div>2007/12/21, Rahul Tidke <<a href="mailto:rahul@excelize.com">rahul@excelize.com</a>>:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hello! I have been using fedora core 6 in production since its launch, I have applied all the software and kernel updates till data using software updater. As redhat/fedora announced its (core 6) end of life; I am doubtful about continuing its use in future?? I am satisfied with the performance so far, iptables and selinux (enforcing/targeted) are configured properly. My question is 1) Shall I continue using this version or shall I upgrade to Fedora 8?? 2) What actually end of life means?? 3) Can I apply (kernel/software) updates after end of life? 4) Is there any security threat?
