Fedora 26 is now available, what can CentOS EDU learn from it? If there is a subject that belongs on another list, please direct me to that... Markus McLaughlin
Greetings, ----- Original Message -----> Fedora 26 is now available, what can CentOS EDU learn from it?What pray tell, is "CentOS EDU"? I did a web search for it and didn't find it. So far as what someone might be able to learn from Fedora 26... it isn't a RHEL release so probably nothing.

I suspect that RHEL8 will default to dnf, rather than yum. There haven't been too many major changes for the sysadmin, there are various things happening, don't know when they started, for the desktop user with Gnome changes, Wayland, and the like. The usual pattern is that something is developed for Fedora, which seems to be aimed at the single user laptop owner who has no experience in handling data for other people. Then, RedHat blindly puts it in the next RedHat release. Experienced adminstrators complain. This is usually ignored. People post on various lists and forums that they're moving to FreeBSD. Reminiscent of some celebrities who said they would move to Canada if Trump became president, they find that it's easier to adjust than actually make the move. That's my somewhat jaundiced view on it. To elaborate, and cherry pick items that suit my bias, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias, I believe it was Fedora who first decided to severely limit the options in the curses based version of anaconda, which then went into RHEL6, causing a lot of curses. <rimshot>. That's a simple, unresearched, and quite possibly wrong example, but I suspect many of us use Fedora so as to not get caught by surprise when things like that happen (the curses based install suddenly losing lots of options.) -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6
