[Fwd: Wikipidia - Goodbye Red Hat and Fedora]

[Henrique Junior]

Hi,
As a desktop, Fedora is the best solution. Should I use the best 2nd
solution? (Ubuntu).
Maybe if we take *some* releases to LLT, lets say, Fedora N, Fedora
N+4. The intermediary releases will be "non LLT".... Well, I know that
Fedora have to worry about all releases, but if we have few people to
work it should be one point.
Maybe it looks crazy.

P.S.: I'm sorry for my poor english.
