For years its main bugbear has been the sheer pain of upgrading to the next version on its 6 monthly release cycle. That involved: (a) burn a DVD (b) do a cold install from the DVD (c) run a massive "yum update" (d) pull in all the nonstandard packages you need (e) get your various services up and running IOW Fedora was almost as much a pain to upgrade as Windows, except that you only had to reboot once. Since Fedora 20 most of that's gone: you simply run the FedUp utility, which does an in-situ, and quite lengthy, online upgrade to the new version. This is followed by a reboot and 'dnf upgrade', which takes a bit longer than my usual weekly run, and more or less everything is up and happy once again. yum, the old RH package installer, has always been pretty good (some people have said its package dependency resolution is better then apt) and its recent replacement, dnf, seems to be very much the same but a bit faster and slicker. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |
