Farewell Fedora Core 5

Written by Michael Larabel in Fedora on 3 May 2007 at 10:11 PM EDT. Add A Comment

Max Spevack has issued a statement on the fedora-announce-list that software updates for Fedora Core 5 is coming to an end. On June 29, 2007, Red Hat will discontinue support for Fedora Core 5. Fedora Core 5 "Bordeaux" will have had a lifespan of 15 months, which is long for the Fedora Project but not nearly as long as the LTS (Long Term Support) releases from Ubuntu. Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake LTS is supported on the desktop for three years (until 2009) and on servers for five years (until 2011). Previously Fedora releases were supported for less than a year. Users of Fedora Core 6 "Zod" will receive updates for about one month after the release of Fedora 8, or the end of 2007.
