Hi All,
The subject says it all. I'm asking because I've found Fedora 9 to be buggy as hell - it is one of the worst Fedora releases I've ever used (and I've been using it since Fedora Core 1). I'm putting up with it for my work laptop, but it's not fun. :(
My main home machine is still on Fedora Core 6 and will stay there until CentOS 6 comes out. I don't want to use CentOS 5 because it's upstream is based on Fedora Core 6, and I want something new! When CentOS 6 hits, I will be using it for my work laptop.
I might just keep Fedora for home my machine. I haven't decided yet if I want to move up to Fedora 10 or CentOS 6.
Regards,
Ranbir

CentOS is based on RHEL, RHEL is based on Fedora: hence, my question...

Not likely. Fedora Core is a different branch than CentOS, and it has a lot of different stuff (ideas, software, etc) which CentOS doesn't have. CentOS is mainly based on the Red Hat Enterprise branch.
I read this question as being Will RHEL 6 be based on Fedora 10?

Agree, that's why I use Fedora 8 on my workstations. As current as not to bleed out.

I hope Redhat doesn't base it on Fedora 9, too much radical technology for it to fit nicely with the current corporate setup.
Some of that technology needs to be more widely adopted first with the bleeding edge distros for at least 2 more releases.

Try Fedora 8, I know it doesn't have much life in it for updates, but it is the most solid Fedora out there right now, and it still is getting updates until Christmas.
I personnally could be very happy for a while with RHEL/CentOS based on Fedora 8 and wait until KDE 4 and the new init fully bake first.

My work lappy was on Fedora 7, and it was great! I didn't have any problems, save for he occasional Evolution crash. Surprisingly, even Fedora 9 has been overall much buggier for me, Evolution has been much more stable. Go figure.
FYI: I use CentOS 5 for all my server stuff, and even for desktop machines. But, I just don't want it as my main desktop distribution. :)

Give Fedora 8 a try until a better solution presents itself.
Just disable the forced pulseaudio alsa config in /etc/alsa/alsa.conf
The ConsoleKit in Fedora 8 uses ACLs to allow multiple users switching desktops to share audio which works well if you pull pulseaudio out of the picture.
Though for remote audio, pulseaudio works very well, so keep it around for those rare times you do a remote X session (and force pulse through alsa in the kdm/gdm env scripts if it detects a remote session!).

Very hard to tell until upstream sets a freezepoint. It is usually based on whatever Fedora is current at that time. So it is probably a tossup between 9 and 10 looking at the projected date of release. I doubt that RedHat would release a real buggy enterprise version because they have to support it. But then in my opinion all Fedoras have been buggy in some way, usually because of the settling time for all the new stuff that gets dropped in.

It should have been based on fedora9, however that did not happen. I heard that it should be based on fedora11, though 12 will be the next release that is a "3rd" (rh9/fc1 was el3, fc3 was for el4, fc6 was for el5 ... so f9 should have been el6)
So my best guess would be f11 or f12. I would think Mar-Jun 2009 would be the release, which is also around the f11 dates ... but it could be based on f10.

Thanks for the in-depth reply. It's looking more like I will be using CentOS as my main desktop for work and home. :)

If you want something new, why do you think when CentOS 6 comes out it will be new ? And for how long ?
Either you stick with Fedora/Ubuntu and have something new, or you just want to _use_ your computer and go with something less new like CentOS/Ubuntu LTS. There is no middle path.
