Hello linux user :)

I am running FC2, and i dont see any package updates with yum/apt anymore
(enabled a lot repo's (ie dag dries freshrpms and so on)).
Is FC2 dead in support? No more new kernels, i dont see security updates.
The last month a few packages where updated and for FC3 i see much more.
Also why i dont see new FC2 kernels? FC3 some new kernels came out.

I know FC2 is transported to a legacy state like FC1. But as always with RH
releases support for older releases always become dead after a while when
new versions are out. Thats pitty. Because if it is not broken why upgrade
to a new distro?
I did upgrade a FC2 box to FC3 with the CD's but after the upgrade a lot
software was broken and needed a new run of ./configure. Thats why i do not
upgrade my main box FC2 to FC3 or even 4. FC2 runs fine here and besides its
more stable then FC3 overhere.

Thank you for an answer

Danny.
