To expand on this: remember, a lot of the 'point' of Fedora is to offer a space for experimentation and development. Mike and I are suggesting Fedora is not a good distribution to run boring, stable, important server tasks which just don't change a lot over time on - like DNS. However, if you were prototyping the next generation of DNS server, would Fedora be a great place to do it? Why yes, it would. Would that be partly thanks to the efforts of the server SIG? Definitely. Ditto if you're developing a web server or a web app or a new cloud infrastructure. Maybe Fedora isn't the distro you'll choose to deploy it to paying customers on, two years down the road, but it's certainly a good choice of distro to do your development work on. It's also a great choice if you're developing or prototyping a new server infrastructure which will eventually go into production on a future RHEL release, for instance. There's lots of reasons why the work of the server and cloud SIGs is important which aren't 'we're going to run boring, vital, production tasks on Fedora servers'. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
