Fedora 18 Beta Has Been... Delayed, Once Again
The Fedora 18 Beta operating system was supposed to be out for testing next Tuesday, on November 6th, 2012, but because of some serious bugs and an incomplete upgrade tool, it has been delayed for one more week. |

Sorry.. the openSUSE in me wanted to get a little revenge for how they were treated when they were late...
I'm a BIG fan of "release when ready". Delays don't bother me one bit.

Well, as a Slackware user, I think it's obvious what my position on the fixed date/when ready debate is. :)

Quoting:I'm a BIG fan of "release when ready". Delays don't bother me one bit.A big +1. I want it released when it really and truly is ready.
Quoting:Sorry.. the openSUSE in me wanted to get a little revenge...12.2 is a nice release. I like it. Having said that, I'm not religious about distros and I want Linux to succeed in all its forms.
Not a problem. Quite the contrary.
Get it right, or put out a release anyways, even though you know it's broken.
It's not like they have to catch the X-mass shopping window, or lose business -- so screw the customers and make a big show of "putting things right" in the new year.
I'm not a Fedora fan -- but they're doing the right thing, here. (If Canonical would do this, I'd consider recommending Ubuntu to newbies, again).

Quoting: (If Canonical would do this, I'd consider recommending Ubuntu to newbies, again).If Canonical would do this there would be a lot fewer bugs in their releases and then maybe I could recommend it as well. I have other concerns about Ubuntu but their long string of extra buggy releases is problem #1.
