Well, problem I have with declaring Fedora geek-only is that
I would like to have something to install for my
parents/wife/geek-impaired friends. And I really don't want to
install them Ubuntu -- not only because I have my doubts about
its quality, but also because I would prefer them to feed with
their input relevant for our stuff, and frankly because I don't
want to keep in my poor mind both /etc/network/interfaces and
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/*-cfg ;-).
Currently my options are Fedora (last released just with updates)
and CentOS. I tend to think more and more about CentOS for such
cases, but I would really like give them something more recent
and something which would directly feed into Fedora.
Oh well,
Matěj
