I have been using RedHat for a number of years, and decided NOT to follow to RedHat5. Fedora came immediately to mind, but... I need Linux to run a number of tools (as end-user) under VMware. As this is is due to be production, the pre-requisites are quality and stability (performance is not an issue and I build flexibility into VM) This is exactly how I came to CentOS. I have spent a significant amount of time installing/configuring/fine tuning it, and was just trying to get the latest tool installed before moving the VM to production. What you are now saying is "throw it all away and start again". Hard to admit to say the least, but I guess this is the best way to go... I suppose I will put CentOS on hold and give a try to FC7 -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
