Would'nt it be a good idea to make respins of the fedora core 7 for internal use. Like For app servers we can have a permanent set of features and for test servers we can have another. there will be too many respins but it will make it easier later on in the future when we can just upgrade a respin to newer versions. That way we can avoid RHEL as such and run Fedora on all systems. I dont know but i seem to prefer Fedora over RHEL. There might still be some packages that are proprietary.... that will be the only problem faced is it not..... just a suggestion Jose M manimala
