As far as Fedora 9 goes, it's the last release of Fedora that I
actually
like, *and* runs well on this hardware (a laptop, and on low spec
desktop computer).
so thats a problem, but it needs to be solved
Fedora 11 is the last version that I've tried on the
laptop that runs well, but I don't really like it.
so you stay on a HORRIBLE unsecure system forever?
boy you are using simply the wrong distribution
go and install CentOS5
And it's a major pain to update an OS and keep data (backups,
restores, fiddly installs trying not to delete data, or the
disastrously risky and messy to
clean-up afterwards "upgrade over the top").
come on i am doing it twice a year for around 30 setups
most of them are production servers, the rest workstations
there is no problem with YUM, but yes, the way YOU let outdate
a setup upgrades does not work at all
On this laptop, Fedora 9 works how I want it to, and so does
the software I'm using with it. There really is no need to
change it, until web browser incompatibilities become too extreme.
this is bullshit, as long as you are connectd to the internet
you have to take care about security because this is no
longer your private thing if your crippled machine is used from
third parties to attack others
the Fedora 9 software I'm using seems to be
fairly stable and bug free, as far as any software goes.
BUG FREE?
the F9 kernel has security bugs as big as a house
the browser has security bugs as big as a city
