It never will see one. It is only a platform for developing the next Red Hat Desktop / Enterprise [A|E|W]S release.

Not so. Fedora core 1 has been around for a year almost and Fedora Core 2 is out as well. I believe that they are testing FC3 now.

I took the plunge after I talked to you guys about it since I myself was also confused with Red HAts decission. In the end I think their desission was correct. Debian is a community driven distro and it has been great. Like wize the community driven atmosphere of fedora has also done well in its development.
FC1 is just as stable and usable as the rest of the Red Hat familiy. The only thing that has changed is support. Instead of coming from Red Hat it will come from the fedora community. Also the life cycle is different. But that really doesn't mean much. I run RH9 and I STILL get up to date packages and it still does its job. I've tested FC1 on the server and I am very impressed with it. I get the updated packages I want and I do not need to 'upgrade' to FC2 if I do not want to.

Yeah? Well, that's your opinion.

Everyone who agrees with the fact Solaris is stupid, and is still going through grade 6, please put this into your sig:
Dear Solaris,

The label 'final' will never be put on a Fedora release.
Fedora isn't a product per se. It is a rolling testbed for bleeding-edge stuff that will eventually make it's way into RedHat's stable and supported product lineup. A blue collar enterprise IT buyer does not consider something with a 3 per year release cycle a stable or final product to roll out on hundreds or thousands of machines.
This is who RedHat is selling to, they don't give a flying fuck about you because you have no money.
I wasn't making any slight on the usability of Fedora. I also understand perfectly what RedHat has done and why they have done it, thank you very much. I have understood from the start and I've been tracking the Fedora project from the start.
Also will you please relaise that _what_you_think_ is not the be all and end all of any matter. So stop making your opinions and extrapolations on real life sound as if they are bona fide fact. This is the reason why people misunderstand you and you cause so much trouble here.
Opinions are like arsholes, everyone has them and they all stink.
- Put this in your notepad please.
and on that note, what i've just said is to a fair extent just my take on things

I agree with the all of the above, but don't do this as it will get this thread binned.
Canadian Lover, I could say the same about you, as you aren't learning from your mistakes or the mistakes of others. Two threads with a similar message to this have already been binned but they were pointless in the first place, and as this thread has a purpose it shouldn't be binned.
