Ronin Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 Only way linux will survive I think is this technique. Sides RH isn't gone just changed to http://fedora.redhat.com/. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Oh.. I think it's both good and bad for linux. Good in that the community will have more say in what will be developed in Fedora. Bad in that we don't know how good Fedora support is. Will it have an u2date system like RH before? Will it have updated patches for certain releases of Fedora without upgrading the entire distro ala debian? etc etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 IMHO up2date was made redundant with the creation of apt4rpms... It'll be interesting to see where this goes, it could be the distro we've all been waiting for. I've been using RH9 with apt for a while now and enjoying it, the Fedora project will take this approach to RH to the next level and get official support. Until then, I'm giving gentoo a second chance. If I could just get X to stop freezing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramfree17 Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 the Fedora project will take this approach to RH to the next level and get official support. i thought the whole point of this move was so RH wont provide official support to the fedora project? ciao!

Qchem Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Up2date will still exist, in fact there will be several different RPM groups on the servers - fedora core and then a series of other types (such as free contributions etc), reminds me a lot of Debian. RH are going to take the best bits from fedora and base their enterprise product on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlc Posted November 6, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 good to know you don't make a habbit of sending yourself emails :lol: if I knew you needed to know....I would have told ya "Jackle" :P Actually I do, just never paid attention. Before anyone thinks I have to many personalities, I just don't like to send my yahoo account emails from work. So when I find something I want to keep in email or send home, I just send my self an email. Falls under that whole paranoid work watches everything on the servers and know need to include my real name with my internet name.

ral Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 (edited) I was always hoping the Linux companies would try to make money by charging business users (maybe by providing a high end paid only version) and keep a home use free version. Well maybe thats what Fedora is... maybe not. I don't think so. Why would the community support Fedora, which RedHat will use to support development of its commercial only versions. Maybe time to jump back to Mandrake. Am running Windows 2000/Firebird/OpenOffice right now. Got a copy in 2001 and it will be supported till 2008. Am not sure I want to get back to installing a new version evey six months. Who knos, though if Federa gets so good... maybe it might backfire on RedHat.
