I really, really don't want to start a distro holy war here.  I replied
to the first "why" off-list to try to avoid it.

I just don't have confidence in Ubuntu any more.  I feel they are at
least dividing (if not completely redirecting) their attentions away
from general-computing to chase TVs, tablets, and phones.

I see way too many bugs just languish for literally years and years
presumably because they don't affect that non-general-computing
use-case.

Well, yes.  This is the concern that started this thread.

So yeah, I'm no more interested in my FEs being on a 6-month upgrade
cycle than I am the BE so I'd want CentOS for the FEs also.  But since I
don't care about any of the desktop-paradigm crap, this should be
livable.

Yeah.  Mythbuntu do a really good job of keeping things up-to-date on
Ubuntu, that is for sure.  I might just end up having to stay with
Mythbuntu for my Myth machines but move whatever else around here is
left on Ubuntu to RedHat.  I was hoping to have to just deal with two,
somewhat-alike distros (Fedora and CentOS) rather than three though.

Thanks for the input.
