Re: Fedora Project: Announcing New Direction

[Kreg Steppe <kreg virtual1 net>]

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.
