Have you (the Linux ABI compat developers, not necessarily you directly=20 :) ) considered switching to CentOS as the default/official Linux compat = environment? It's a RHEL mirror-image and despite RHEL's flaws its *the* = distribution for complex "enterprise" software (think Oracle, SAP...). I = can see two benefits from it: - its popularity from large 3rd party vendors of professional software=20 (apparently Oracle support won't even listen to you if you try using it=20 on anything but the certified distributions/versions). It's widely=20 regarded as a "server" system, much like FreeBSD is. - it is updated much less often than Fedora (literally years pass before = major updates) so if timed luckily, new versions of CentOS/RHEL could be = adopted with major revisions of FreeBSD. --------------enig8F35CD5CDE3C24504C4C26F8 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHtt0oldnAQVacBcgRAju0AKDRHWZpzo+QLugC49kAJdlWAH358QCgykV8 N9K6luKf37wx3KuO6FLJNfM= =mZeU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig8F35CD5CDE3C24504C4C26F8--
