Hi Nico,
Depends on what you mean by "stabilize". I am the one
who reported the bug in the CentOS 5 where cutting a
DVD corrupted your hard drive (Red Hat found it and fixed
it for me -- try that with Redmond's stuff). I almost
lost my business -- twice! (I, fortunately, am a backup
whore and love dump and restore.)
I have never considered RHEL to be a stable platform
(cut a little DVD, trash a little hard drive, almost
lose your livelihood). RHEL for me has always been
that it is an excellent enterprise platform.
The out-of-date drives me a bit nuts: samba 4.1.4 being
a good example. I understand why they do it. I just
think they should get off the butts and move a bit faster.
Criminy, I can't even run the latest Xfce on it!
I have to download the Firefox and Thunderbird binaries,
so I can support my Windows customers. And I don't buy
the backport garbage. They backport when they feel like it.
For Instance, is your Firefox running TLS 1.1 or 1.2?
There is a reason for keeping your browser updated!
I downloaded and installed Samba 4.1.3 in a FC20 VM.
Those turkeys left out all the active directory stuff!

Guess I will have to migrate my Samba 3 on my host sl6.5
to Samba 4. Probably time anyway.
