I am with you Havoc. I also plan to run Fedora. I have been looking
forward to something like this. I have been using RHL since I started
using linux (RH 5.2) and I am looking forward to the opprotunity to give
back some and participate.
I think from an earlier post someone said that there will be Fedora
Core which will feed RHL and that will feed RHEL I dont see the problem.
RHN will work with these... right? You still have Yum and apt-get repos.
Well, lets open our minds, drop the FUD and lets all have fun with this.
