Dear Dario, happy to know you hadn't any problem, unfortunately that was not my case and often for this reason: even if I was keeping only the two last kernel versions, my boot partition always suffered, in case of updating the whole system, of disk space lacking for the new release. I've tried to double the recommended boot partition dimensions but without luck. Also I didn't stuck to the fedora only repositories and installed some packages from others, often this caused dependencies problems, but this is a minor issue, most of the times I had to (re)install the system from scratch. Maybe I'm not so skilled, maybe I do not spend the right amount of time on that issue, may be I had messy things on my boxes (but I'm quite polite in my setup and rarely do messy things). These things happened on more than one fedora box and that made me switch to debian. I'm not judging anyone or saying that a distro is better than another, I'm not opened to a "religion war" and I thank all the fedora guys too, I've learned so much using fedora, but 'now' debian is working better for me and that's all. I stopped using fedora from f18 as some software I was working on at that time stopped from being compiled correctly (eyedb).
Have a good day and happy fedoraing :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------- -- luca.pagano...@gmail.com -- https://github.com/lucapaganotti -- sourceforge email: -- lucapagano...@users.sourceforge.net -- skype name: luca.paganotti [image: http://it.linkedin.com/in/lucapaganotti] <http://it.linkedin.com/in/lucapaganotti> -- Mastodon: l <https://www.facebook.com/luca.paganotti.66> ucapagano...@fosstodon.org -- --------------------------------------------------------------- -- Mistakes are portals of discovery - JAAJ --- -------------------------------------------------------------- On Tue, Nov 6, 2018 at 11:55 AM Dario Lesca <d.le...@solinos.it> wrote: > Il giorno mar, 06/11/2018 alle 08.43 +0100, luca paganotti ha scritto: > > he main reason was the pain I had at each new fedora release, the upgrade > process to new versions often failed and I had to "rebuild" the offended > machine(s). > > > I use fedora from FC1, reinstalled on my old notebook from RedHat 9. > > When I changed my notebook to current notebook (DELL Latitude i7/8Gb), I > installed what at that time was the last version of Fedora: Fedora 18 > (Spherical Cow). > > [lesca@dodo ~]$ sudo ls -l /root/anaconda-ks.cfg > > -rw-------. 1 root root 1005 18 gen 2013 /root/anaconda-ks.cfg > > [lesca@dodo ~]$ date > > mar 6 nov 2018, 10.48.56, CET > > > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedora_version_history#Fedora_18 > > (Fedora 18, codenamed "Spherical Cow", was released on January 15, 2013.) > > > Since that time I have always updated my notebook without ever reinstall > it: > > f18->f19->f20->f21->f22->f23->f24->f25->f26->f27->f28 and now f29 > > *I've never had any problems.* > Many thanks to all Fedora Project Guys. > > -- > > Dario Lesca > (inviato dal mio Linux Fedora 28 Workstation) > _______________________________________________ > users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org > Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: > https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org >
