Since you are already using fedora, you might want to look at Centos. That is
a rebuild of RHEL. 7 year support IIRC.

Been doing that here for several years. My "server" (Athlon 1700+ with 768MB RAM) is currently running CentOS 4.4. I originally started out with WhiteBox 3 (RHEL 3 equivalent) but the support and community didn't seem to be there. I wanted to get to an RHEL 4 equivalent with a 2.6 kernel so I could run pam_abl. I installed CentOS 4.3 right after it was released and yum upgraded the system to 4.4 automagically about a month ago. Pretty slick. The box provides my firewall/NAT server, DNS, DHCP, IMAP, POP, SMTP, CUPS, backup (Amanda), Samba (print and shared disk) and NFS. It sounds like a lot for a low end box but the only users are my wife and me.

[root@fraud ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 4.4 (Final)
[root@fraud ~]# uname -a
Linux fraud.davenjudy.org 2.6.9-42.0.2.EL #1 Tue Aug 22 23:56:05 CDT 2006 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
[root@fraud ~]# uptime
09:28:20 up 32 days, 20:37, 10 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

Cheers,
Dave
