y para actualizar a este, ¿que hay que hacer?
espero que no haya que bajarselo, formatear el HD y volver a instalarlo.
Igual vale con un yum upgrade, ¿no?
a ver si alguien sabe si tiene ya soporte para el wifi de la ps3 y aunque sea por lo menos para sticks usb y sobre todo como se actualiza a esta nueva version
Sinceramente yo no me muevo del Fedora sobre todo porq siempre podre actualizar con paquetes del Yellow (que se desarrolla con parte del equipo Fedora). Aunq nunca hay q cerrarse y menos en GNU ->
Se puede hacer varias cosas:
- Esperar a que ambos saquen nuevas realeases completas
- Parchear, porq Yellow Dog 5.0.1 sea una nueva version nada, es un parche.
- Currartelo un poco y bueno...nunca se sabe ;)
Lo q si esta claro que Red Hat->Fedora lleva muuuchos años en el sector, y su versatilidad es predeterminada.
