I agree. Fedora is a weird case where reality is better than perception. Has anyone on the Fedora project considered making one stable Fedora release every three or four releases? You could promote the release as having: * Stable desktop and servers * Three years of security updates * Branding program with hardware manufacturers I think you could bring back a lot of the independent consultants who went to CentOS or elsewhere after the transition from Red Hat Linux. It could also quiet people who say cutting-edge = never-better-than-beta. -- Chris Negus -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list <a href="mailto:Fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com">Fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list"> https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list</a> </blockquote></div> Wouldn't that be like using Fedora 4 with years of updates? Fedora 5 support is ending soon, which means that software updates are no longer being provided. Using a 3 year old Fedora + patches wouldn't make it secure, it would make it old. Just my 2 cents. -- Juan M. Rodriguez Moreno Freelance Software Developer & Designer Fedora Ambassador Key fingerprint = 6201 742D 1092 92BF FB1E 3310 4731 5C14 520E 0258
