Not true.

Yes, Fedora Core 2 is in "legacy" status, but that simply means that the Fedora project itself is not producing updates. That's what the Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) is for, and they are now fully maintaining security updates for FC2 as well as FC1, RedHat 9 and RedHat 7.3.

They're doing a great service for the RedHat/Fedora-using Linux community and should not be overlooked. Their work has kept a good number of my well-working RH9 boxes from being forced onto the upgrade treadmill.

Thanks. That's really good to know. I'll check into that. I have an FC1 and an FC2 box which should be updated. I'd rather do that right now then move them up to FC3. Especially the file server.
