and, of course, each application needs testing for functionality apart from did it install and does it run.

At this time, and subject to testing, xsce can be installed on Fedora 18 (for XOs), 20, and 21 and on Centos.  Any and all of these needs testing.

 

Keep in mind that xsce is not necessarily bundled with one of these OS in that you can install the os and then runansible or one of the other setup scripts.

 

However, to make life easier, George has images and an installer that you just stuff onto a machine and have a working xsce.  Similarly Jerry has an iso that already has all the needed rpms and other installables and will give a livecd style ready to go xsce.

 

However, you also need to keep in mind that if you install from an image or an iso you are getting a particular os and a snapshot of xsce.

 

If you want to roll your own, you can first install an OS.

 

I use what's on XO-4 for F18, minimal for F20, and as Danishka mentions Server Edition for 21.  I haven't tried Centos.

 

Finally, please also keep in mind that all of these things have happened since the last release (5.1) of xsce so are a work in progress, which is exactly why a lot of testing is needed.

 

 

 

Tim,

Do we have list items to be test? test case?
