So I was at my CompSci department's computer lab for the first time today. There are some 20 Windows machines to 5 Linux machines, true, but there /are/ Linux machines! And guess what they're running? Yep, Fedora! (I forgot to check which version, servers run Core 2.) And what is the default desktop? XFCE!
Computing bliss!
Neato! XFCE is great - I just like my full-featured DE! :*laughs*:

Servers often don't run the latest and greatest distros. Stability is key, and sometimes the downtime involved with upgrading must be avoided.

but security also comes into play..
I would think (hope) core 4 would be more secure and stable than core 2
one hour of downtime during one day to upgrade a server should be acceptible..
*shrugs*
as long as its runnin' I 'spose its fine
the whole "if it aint broke, dont fix it" mentaility

Huh.
I lost my train of thought.
Why do you hope for core 4 would be more secure and stable than core 2
one hour of downtime during one day to upgrade a server should be acceptible:-) What do you look like?
FC2 is still supported, so I would think that it is just as secure.
Also, oftentimes people will heavily patch some packages with special modifications, and it would take a long time to rebuild all that.
