Volunteers are calling it quits on a project called Fedora Legacy to provide long-term support for Red Hat's hobbyist-oriented Fedora version of Linux. "The Fedora Legacy project is in the process of shutting down," said project organizers Jesse Keating and David Eisenstein in a Fedora Legacy mailing list posting Friday. The organizers didn't provide a specific reason for the decision, but a lack of contributions from outside programmers contributed, Keating said in a separate mailing list posting.

Yeah, Centos is more conservative and more stable, interesting that many hosting companies use Fedora instead of Centos. Who knows why...

Surprsingly enough, I noticed the other day that Fedora's site might be hosted on CentOS.

My institution certainly prefers CentOS (and RHEL, its cheap for us since we're an academic organization) over Fedora.
