Of course, it would be better to follow Fedora CentOS 6 was based off Fedora 12. CentOS 7 is based off Fedora 19. By the time we're talking about Fedora 25, RedHat will do a RHEL 8.0. ScientificLinux is the closest to RHEL, and CentOS is the friendliest in that the community is great to work with (especially #centos-social on Freenode!) and the longest-maintained distribution. > but that requires: > 1. manpower to maintain always-changing new Fedora packages, Updating the packages isn't the Hard Part(tm). I updated the whole portstree's CentOS 6.5 base to 6.6 in four hours. The hard part is making sure nothing that uses Linux in any currently maintained FreeBSD release breaks. Including Sun/Oracle Java, Flash, all Linux Games, etc. > 2. manpower to maintain Linuxulator, since packages from e.g. Fedora 25 may start to depend on syscalls that are not available in FreeBSD. In that Quarterly Report, we do send out a call for helpers. :-) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
