yep!

Fedora has a pretty robust wart removal process. Things like Spacewalk,
FreeIPA and ovirt work FAR better than the RHEL versions. Of course the
RHEL version is several versions back from the Fedora one so it still has
the warts from that release.

Now that the fedup process JustWorks! running a Fedora server got much
easier. RHEL will be incorporating a tool like fedup into RHEL7 and
possibly backporting it to RHEL6.  YAY!

Of course a general purpose OS that is truly wart-free is such a fantasy
that it's laughable. With all the warts in Ubuntu and Debian and all the
rest, I really feel pity for the poor schleps that spend their days on a
windows server system.

I laugh at the "professional" sysadmins who are Apple geeks. They all work
retail. BWAHAHAHAHA! "Can I get you a latte while you wait for me to fix
your laptop?".

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

James P. Kinney III

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain
at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail.
It won't fatten the dog.
