I have always wanted a distro in-between long term support and cutting edge. Say one that uses the kernel/command line part of a long term distro and the gui and gui apps of a cutting edge distro (maybe 1 back from the cutting edge). An kernel upgrade cycle of say 3 years, but a GUI that stays current within it's release. -Ross ----- Original Message ----- From: centos-bounces at centos.org <centos-bounces at centos.org> To: CentOS mailing list <centos at centos.org> Sent: Wed Jul 30 18:22:36 2008 Subject: Re: [CentOS] Will CentOS 6's upstream be based on Fedora 10?

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. -- -- dag wieers, dag at centos.org, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors] _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS at centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ______________________________________________________________________ This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
