Fedora Core 3 to Core 4

Filed under: — sven @ 08:14 GMT

I just did a Fedora update from Core 3 to Core 4. Never in the past has a Red Hat or Fedora upgrade ever worked for me.

Also, comming soon is the Rerun, AKA zen.org, upgrade. I’ll try to post another warning the day before I do it.

  1. Odd. I do updates all the time with SuSE and never have a problem. ;-)

  2. “updates all the time” is a part of the problem with Fedora. I haven’t spent enough time looking at SuSE to know about that. Fedora is a sort of the Samsara of GNU/Linux distros, the never ending cycle of loosing support and having to do a major upgrade. But if one is doing SuSE upgrades all the time similar to a Fedora Core 3 to 4 update, I don’t want that distro either.

    There is nothing like Debian Stable for a server, major updates are years apart. Back pached security fixes so new holes are rearly introduced. Not good for a deskdop where you want the latest bell and whistles though.

    But it took Gentoo to make gcc a screen saver. :)
