Thank you very much for your kind response.
I'd like to re-iterate that nothing I have posted is intended to be a criticism of the Fedora Core Project, or any of the people working on it.
I've found the FC people to be very cordial. (I've been somewhat active on the FC mail echo.)
However, I'm rather tired of the continual pressure applied by them to "upgrade" to the next "level". I'd like a stable platform which doesn't shift around underneath my development. I'm more interested in Linux as a tool, than as an object of interest in and of itself. I'm more interested in using it than in getting it to work.
---- I think someone suggested it before in a way but it seems that Fedora is on an every other pattern.
FC-1 was the last of the 2.4 kernels and very stable, pretty much a 9.1 thing.
FC-2 was the first with 2.6 kernel and SELinux and early GCC 3 and suffered a bit.
FC-3 pretty much fixed all that didn't work well in FC-2 and is certain to be a candidate for longevity in fedoralegacy
FC-4 is pushing the envelope again, GCC-4 is a big one but they have adopted some beta versions of stuff that isn't entirely stable.
That is the stated agenda for Fedora. Still, for my desktop, I am running Fedora...but not for servers.
