Beta codenamed severn- 9.93 - RedHat ; RedHat Linux Project announced release 2 of severn - 0.94 - RedHat^H^H^H^H^H^HFedora Core 1 everyone gets upset and bitches at RedHat for drawing a clear line between the Enterprise software and the non-money making software. > > > Obviously Fedora will change from the Redhat baseline over time but > > right now it doesn't seem to be a World apart. > > No, Fedora *is* the RedHat baseline ;) > > RedHat are now only going to release their Advanced Server, which will > be built (as I understand it) from stabilised Fedora snapshots.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that understand that. It certainly looks as though RedHat will QA packages- but the emphasis won't be on keeping software stable (e.g. if there is a bug-fix in Apache it might not be backported any more, instead Apache might be upgraded - and this may break things). For anyone not scared of testing updated first, and not scared to go off and recompile if RH's updates break everything then Fedora isn't really a real problem. -- Regards, Adam Allen. adam [at] dynamicinteraction.co.uk pgp http://search.keyserver.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=adam%40dynamicinteraction.co.uk
