Dear All,
We thought of coming up a good story on the distro release time span.
Our question is 'With many distros going for a six-monthly release
cycle, do you think the release cycles of distros are too short? (And
users don't have to upgrade on a frequent basis?) '
What do you think on this? Would really appreciate if you share your
views elaborately.
As a solution provider, I recommend CentOS/RHEL, Debian Stable / Ubuntu LTS
for business environment. For one of a kind driver support, a custom
kernel built with imported config of the distros default kernel.
At a personal level, users can choose what they want. The frequent cycle
may be good for those who work with bleeding edge hardware and need driver
support for the latest stuff. For desktops, I have a hybrid model -
Debian stable + latest LTS kernel.

I'd rather be called a moron, than walk around with doubts in my mind.
