Upgrading to F9.

Hi Guys, when does support for F8 end? I really don't want to upgrade until i have too.

Fedora maintains the current and previous releases until the month after the next release. So, assuming a six-month release cycle and this schedule for Fedora 9: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/9/Schedule (which will probably push into May, in reality) then you'd see Fedora 8 reach EOL sometime around the first of next year. Even so, you'll still have some repositories maintaining packages a bit beyond that and if you've just plain fallen in love with Fedora 8, then you can keep it and just watch for security updates or important packages. There are still Fedora 1 and 2 machines limping along....

Ok cool Bob, if i still get security updates i might just stick with F8. Works fine for me.
