OS Future now that Fedora Legacy defunct

[Donald Tripp]

I concur. I use FC for my desktop / laptop, and Scientific Linux  
(another RHAS rebuild) for our cluster and servers. For high  
performance computing you are not concerned with the latest greatest  
version of xwindows or grub, but more concerned with stability. RHAS  
rebuild projects give us that stability ( I'm still running  
2.6.9-34EL ). But for my desktop where I am tweaking this, compile  
test programs, evaluating software for other users, its good to be on  
the bleeding edge, even if sometimes you get cut... :-)
