These docs are good to know about.

Fedora releases are only supported for 1 year, so I don't personally consider Fedora as a good option for servers, even though some places offer it. Whereas RHEL and CentOS releases are supported for 10 years, Debian is now supporting its stable releases for 5 years, Ubuntu Desktop LTS releases for 3 years and Ubuntu Server LTS releases for 5 years, and so on. Where this all comes to a head for me is a distribution that supports upgrade-in-place. RHEL and CentOS don't officially support this, though there are instructions available to do so "at your own risk". Debian officially supports upgrade-in-place, which is what attracted me to it in the first place. I've read that Fedora now supports this via their new "FedUP" utility, but I haven't actually tried that to see how it works; wondering if you've tried it perhaps, Allen. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle [email protected] _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org https://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) Vassar College * Jul 8 - Mad Science Fair V @ Lourdes Aug 5 - Minimal Openstack @ Lourdes Sep 2 - Let'S Go Phishing
