Comaptiable with Fedora 6? 2006/11/05 10:41  
Can I use Fedora 6 with the Virtualmin installer 3.26?

Hey Michael,

Not yet. I'm working on FC6 support as we speak. It takes a few days to get everything built and tested.

What I mean to say is, Should I go with Fedora 5. I don't want to rush you.

Hey Michael,

Probably another day or two for FC6. Fedora is among the easiest to support (I can use mock to build the packages, yum is among the best package managers and handles deps well, and the way Fedora handles various configuration is consistent across all versions). I pretty much just have to build a few packages and upload them. Everything else usually just works.

Was the 3.28 version that came out for FC6?

Hey Johnny,

Fedora Core 6 on i386 is now supported, and I'll be building the x86_64 packages today and tomorrow.

BTW-The 3.28 version is for the Virtualmin Virtual Servers module, which isn't related to the install process or the packages--sometimes no actual changes are needed to any of our code (as is true of Fedora Core 6--almost any version in the past six months would work, if packages are available). But new package builds are always required for every new OS supported. For example, our custom Apache, ClamAV, etc. Those packages are now available in the FC6 repo. I also like to test some on the new OS before announcing support!

Hi Joe,

I am contemplating upgrading our server from Fedora Core 5 to Fedora Core 6.

What do you reckon? Is it a good idea? Or should I wait for another month or so to see if there are any more issues with the FC6-VirtualminPro combination?

Thanks mate.

FC6 is running reasonably well, and I haven't gotten many bug reports about it--but folks are probably still poking at it. About three weeks after Debian/Ubuntu releases came out is when I actually started getting a lot of bug reports (all at once!), so it might be a few more days before they start rolling in for Fedora 6.

Not a lot of difference between it and FC5 on a server, however...A few slightly newer packages, but no major new features in any of them.

So, I'd say give it a week or two, unless there's something in FC6 that you really like the looks of. They call it the bleeding edge for a reason. ;-)
