Oh, idle curiosity. Why would the people at FL be interested in any
particular user's motivation?

I do it because I should have used a different distribution. It came
about like this (since you express idle curiosity)...

I landed a contract programming job, and was requested to put Linux
and WinXP both as dual boot on my machine. More specifically, I was
requested to put FC2 on my machine. I worked on the software, which
was intended to run under Windows, Linux, SCO Unix, and other OS.
Now, the fellow who wanted me to run a Red Hat compatible Linux
only knew about FCx as being a "good" one. He was ignorant. But
that's what the boss wanted, so that's what I put on here. Probably
a re-spin like CentOS or Scientific Linux would have been better.

Now, the contract is over, but I have an FC2 box. I have zero motivation
to change, so I leave it as it is. If I "upgrade" it will not be
to any version of Fedora Core.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
