Hi ALL, I am 60 and am running Linux since RedHat 4.2, always RH/Fedora. I'm IT Professional since 1977 and I'm now using F19 on desktops and servers with great success.

I'm IT Professional since 1977 and I'm now using F19 on desktops and servers with great success. I also use Centos but I'm more comfortable with Fedora. Congrats to all of you making this wonderful distro! Best Regards, Cristian Sava I'm 56, still working. Started in electronics in 1971, became a pro in 1976 as a systems engineer (both hardware and software). Started out running DG Novas and various DEC platforms (PDP11s and Vaxen). I was on the initial ANSI C and SCSI standardization committees back in the day. I've been using various Unix flavors since 1977 (SunOS, Solaris, Ultrix, DG/UX, Irix, SVR3, SVR4 to name a few) and Linux since early Slackware releases (kernel 0.5something) and I've been a RH/Fedora user since RH 4.x. I, like many, laud the efforts of ALL Linux developers, but particular kudos should go to the RH/Fedora gang. While I disagree with a lot of what has been done (Gnome is a massive bloat and systemd buys you very little, for example), overall it's a really good environment. We use CentOS on our live platforms because we need the stability and we don't really need Red Hat's tech support (if we did, we'd buy and use RHEL). That being said, all our Linux development is done initially on Fedora and backported to CentOS. It works and it works well. I hereby raise a virtual glass to the Fedora team! Cheers, mates!

Fedora's audience
Recent exchanges here and in related places have reminded me strongly of long discussions held on RedHat lists fifteen or twenty years ago. Was (now is) RH/F, and Linux generally, *for* all sundry? Or was/is it essentially a plaything of the Alpha Plus Technoids? Which *should* it be? That distinction applied to shoes and ships and sealing wax, to cabbages and kings; i.e., all the way from designing new apps for GUI, for CLI only, or for some compromise -- to what sorts of posters and questions ought to be welcome or unwelcome on the public lists. I remember pointing out repeatedly that when the Baby Boomers began to retire, and cease to be bound to their employers' systems, some fraction of them would take up Linux -- and it wouldn't need a very big fraction of their numbers to make a substantial difference to Linux. To the best of my recollection, that issue never resolved into any consensus. RedHat changed its whole strategy, and suddenly many of us had far more urgent concerns than just the philosophic ones.
