Hi,<br><br>Teach is currently on F9, which is EOL, and F10 was EOL'd this week. <br><br>In light of this, I'm going to upgrade teach to F11 (f9>f10>f11) this weekend. This may cause service disruption, but as the MOTD notes, teach is not a critical machine and you shouldn't be doing important work on it anyway. <br clear="all">

<br></blockquote></div><br><br>I do not know what runs on teach (I'm assuming its some kind of a server), but I do wonder why we don't use a server distro that doesn't EOL so quickly. We use Ubuntu 8.04 LTS for our campus Moodle installation. 8.04 LTS will EOL in 2013, and 6.06 to 8.04 upgrade was quite painless.<br>
<br>Just curious about the thinking behind the use of Fedora for such purposes.<br clear="all"><br>Sameer<br>-- <br>Dr. Sameer Verma, Ph.D.<br>Associate Professor, Information Systems<br>Director, Center for Business Solutions<br>
