I have read that v 6.3 is about Fedora 12. Now that v 6.4 has shipped (no I won't be dumb enough to ask when C6.4 we ship), what version of Fedora does it match up with?

It's not changed. Think of y-stream releases as "service packs" of a type. It's basically all the updates as of that given date rolled into a new ISO. This is a little simplified, but you get the idea. There are no version changes, just patches.

And with F18 just out with all the complaints and patches, they are planning RHEL 7 for this year on it? :)
I wonder if they are going to go with Gnome 3 or something else as the default. It was a BIG shift from Gnome 2!

What Red Hat will do in RHEL 7 is anyone's guess. Red Hat is pretty clear that nothing is certain until the day it is released.

I am fairly sure it will be GNOME 3 ... maybe with a Cinnamon option.

I have pretty much gotten use to Gnome 3 on my F17 notebooks. With the right extensions it actually kind of works.
I only use the GUI when setting up a new environment, then change inittab to 3 before launch, so this is not so much an issue for me anymore. Just curious.
thanks

I never even install the GUI on a server. minimal install, then add required packages. 'desktop environment' isn't on that list.

That can be said for Windows as well. Why use something that's broken to start with?

Let's not derail the original thread. A separate thread about what UI we think is appropriate is valid, but it's not connected to the original topic of this one.

Most of the complaints are directed at the new installer which was rushed through and isn't entirely finished yet.
My theory is that the reason for this "rushing" is that since Fedora 18 servers as the base for RHEL 7 there was a strong interest in getting the new installer in there so it receives some real-world testing in a release before it pops up in RHEL later.
