Hello,
Do you know which distro has newer packages? More updates? I want get involved with testing but I haven't ever done this.
How are they different?
fedora "Rawhide" is not a working operating system !!!!!!!!!
it NEVER WAS !!!!!!!!
It never will be !!!!!!!!!
it is the testing of the NEXT version
right now that is fedora 21 ALPHA testing
as soon as the beta testing for 21 is LOCKED
rawhide will become FEDORA 22 -- BEFORE FEDORA 21 IS EVEN RELEASED !!!!!!!!
so if you start with 20
turrn on "rawhide" it will make a Frankensteined install of 20/21
then about 2 months BEFORE 21 is released it will move from fedora 21 BETA to Fedora 22 ALPHA
then you install will be a Frankensteined install of 20/21/22 -- even BEFORE 21 is released
and in all likely hood will NOT WORK !!!!
if you do not know what "rawhide" is and can FIX the problems and commit bug fixes to the developers
then DO NOT USE RAWHIDE !!!!!!!
