I'd like to know, too. We use CentOS 5 for servers, and I hate it because anytime I want to do anything interesting, we have to compile stuff from source to get anything recent enough. (Ruby, Git, etc...)
- c00p3r 18y agoruning the rpmbuild --rebuild command on a Fedora's .src.rpm is not a rocket science.
- c00p3r 18y agoRuby, git, etc - is a very portable userland packages. It means they almost independed from an OS. It means you can focus on the quality of the OS, while fresh user tools can be easily backported from bleeding edge distros like Fedora. I'm runing production servers which are 64-bit FC10 based systems onder the Xen 3.3 with kernels from CentOS. Resent Fedora lacks support of 64bit dom0, but CentOS has it. xen-hypervisor I'm using is from FC11. So, I have fresh developer tools along with latest Xen and very stable and well-tested kernel. It works pretty good. Linux is like Lego, not like Windows.
