...not really. If you're suggesting that Debian is lacking in some way,4.5.2-8848 is what I am no longer using (:
same here actually .
dare i say "get a new distro"
then you're casting doubts on the efficacy of a _lot_ of other distros
that customise their work. I agree that Fedora can be a bit bleeding
edge for any important work, which is why I only use it for fun (?).
When it fails on up2date FC2 and 3 and multiple installs of Debian
testing ( updated ), then I don't point the finger at the distro.
You should at least consider so doing.
Debian has got stuck in the mire of political correctness, and Fedora is a bleeeding edge experimental dist. RedHat use it to try things out on the 'Linux Community' before committing new things to their Enterprise Server.
Come on Chris,
All the software that I need to run websites, desktop, databases ( databi? ) including Oracle, Informix, Postgres, Mysql, mail servers (also plural ), software development, and loads, loads more runs perfectly. But as soon as one single bit of commercial software fails to run, I should blame the distro?
No, I should not. Especially not 2 1/2 of them. Especially not as a reflex action.
