Actually, if you're talking about the RedHat Linux distros, the last "stable" one was Redhat Linux 9. All the FC ones are being released way too fast and frequently to be used on a stable server. Lets look at it this way... if you are on a desktop and using Fedora, just keep upgrading to the next release when it comes out. They were made to be frequently upgraded. A bit of upgrade time is acceptable on a desktop/workstation, but it isn't acceptable on a server. FC was never supposed to have a long lifespan for each release. The last version of RedHat Linux that would have been used on servers most commonly is RH9. We still have a lot of RH9 servers running, while 7.x and 8 has been moved to RH9 as well. Anyway, hope that shows support for RH9!!! > On Fri, Feb 04, 2005 at 03:01:57AM +0200, Steve Stavropoulos wrote: > > RedHat 7.3 is the only "real" server distro fedoralegacy currently > > supports.
