[quote=afx114][quote=ucodegen]To avoid the bleeding/breaking, I tend to be about 1 rev behind the current… and can pick up ‘updates’ to fix the one installed. That is why I am running FC10 though FC11 is out.[/quote]

I used to do that too until I realized they swiftly cut off support/updates to old Cores after only a year or so. This is the ‘bitten in the ass’ to which I referred. So if you plan on using your machine for more than a year, I wouldn’t recommend Fedora Core unless you’re cool with doing a full system update every year (which isn’t always possible in some environments where downtime is a no-no).[/quote]

You should look into CentOS. Not as bleeding edge as FC but pretty good. It’s basically free version of Red Hat Enterprise.

[quote=afx114]Sorry for the semi-threadjack, but I’m wondering about swinging the other way… Parallels vs VMware: Which do you recommend?[/quote]

Try VirtualBox. Free. Not full featured but it’s free so you can try without spending $.

[quote=bsrsharma]I know some big and famous companies who sent to jail some ex-engineers who emailed some source code they were working with to their personal accounts (from company machines).[/quote]

Email source code with company machines? They deserve to be jailed, not for the criminality, but for stupidity.

Ever heard of Flash drive?
