Hi Morgan, I don't have answers to the rest of your question, but just wanted to = point out that each release of Fedora is maintained for approximately 13 = months, rather than 18.

As Fedora the default system that Ovirt is packaged for does this mean that Ovirt will have the same (short) support life of 18 months ? I ask as that is a bit short to have in enterprise ..

Hi Morgan,

I don't have answers to the rest of your question, but just wanted to point out that each release of Fedora is maintained for approximately 13 months, rather than 18. (The entire life of a release would be around 18-19 months, though, if you're including the development period.)

Just wanted to clear up any confusion or inconsistencies :)

Cheers,

Robyn



I.e if I install Ovirt in Fedora 16 will support life run out when Fedora 16 runs out or will I be able to upgrade Ovirt/Fedora to the next version?

Are there going packages for Centos ?  If so will they be supported longer ?

If this information is out there already can you point me to the right direction ?

Regards
