We have this conversation every few months. It's just about picking the right tool for the job. Too many people think that every distro should be used for every use case and that one distro is somehow 'better'. It's just about identifying what ones needs are, and picking the best OS for the need. In Fedora's case we do have Fedora on some servers, but for most of our needs RHEL is a better fit. -Mike _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
