So, we are working here to recommend Red Hat and CENTOS ??
That's the question, Ubuntu has a LTS, Fedora don't! That's the main
problem of the Fedora Project.
Today, we have many users! With this idea to recommend Centos and Red
Hat, we will have a lot of users in the future ?
Thinking in this way, we will hear frequently "Fedora is a beta tester
version to add and improve technologies for Red Hat EL ".
For me and for marketing, it isn't a great decision!
Now i'm presenting lectures in all Brazilian states and i can't talk
about this.. USE CENTOS OR RHEL. I have to recommend Fedora.
I'm here to represent and spread fedora, not Centos or Red hat EL.
