Yes, legacy is defunct. But installing whatever updates are available is
better than not installing them...
btw - if legacy is dead, it would be nice to not lose FC updates until
two months old and a couple months, even if the only updates pushed are
security fixes.
Do you mean "two years old and a couple of months"? You probably want
RHEL or Centos.
Do you mean two releases and a couple of months? The plan, I understand,
is that FC5 will be supported until a month after F7 is released, which
should be close enough...
For "utility" type boxes, the latest FC is really not necessary except
when no more updates are pushed, and upgrading those boxes can be time
consuming, so sometimes I like to wait until a release is a month old
and bad things have been discovered and fixed. I bet I'm not the only
one. Knowing there will be security fixes for two versions old would be
a comfort while waiting, especially since purpose of these boxes is to
have open ports.
Seriously, that's the sort of use for which RHEL or CentOS is suited --
set it up, set up updates, and forget it.
