Yes, I made the same erroneous assumption, then greatly compounded my error by seeking help in #fedora on irc.freenode.net, a "community" to avoid if one is unaccustom to snakepits.
There was a recent burst of bug reports about the Gnome Control Center under Fedora Core 2, to include this statement, which is absent from the Front Page of fedora.redhat.com:
Fedora Core is intended for enthusiasts, hobbiests and developers, and should not ever be used in a production environment.
If you require a solution which is intended for production environment I recommend contacting Red Hat sales to inquire about Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and a Red Hat Network subscription.
Fedora Core is a development platform which is bleeding edge, and tracks technology advances. It is not ever intended to be used in business production environments.
Would it be more honest to include the above disclaimer at the Fedora site and when announcing any distribution of Fedora Core?
Well, since an upgrade from Fedora Core 1 to Fedora Core 2 crippled my system so that I am unable to use GTK-based applications, it is difficult to be enthusuastic about this availability.
Tell me, please! What did you do to get xorg-x11 to work? My system was crippled after an upgrade from FC1->FC2.
By upgrade, I mean choosing upgrade when, upon running anaconda, the installer presents you with two choices:1) Upgrade or 2) New Install
The lost functionality was reminiscent of a move from RH8 to RH9. The upgrade failed in that case also, and it seemed to be related to the X server as with the current situation.
To paraphrase a saying, "It is okay to trust, just don't trust untrustworthy distributions."
