I've had very few problems, kernel issues are not really the fault of
the Fedora team, sometimes you hit quirks but these do get sorted out.
How many years have you maintained these servers and how much damage
does downtime cause?
None, as they are almost all clustered/load balanced/redundant.
OK, but you might have mentioned that in your first post which could
have been taken to mean hundreds of different offices were each relying
on the one server you set up there. Fedora is OK if downtime doesn't
matter.
Originally I was using RH 2.1 then 3, however, I found myself constantly
upgrading components because RH did not want to break "version"
compatibility for 5 years, which in my eyes is worse than binary
compatibly - Moores law and all that! so Fedora suits me down to the
ground.
The only real issue is a stable kernel for your requirements, everything
else is less important, also I have a habit of running everything in
user-space so it's a lot easier to virtualize or switch out the
underlying OS if required.
How do you virtualize "everything"? You have to have a real kernel and
device drivers somewhere. If that isn't an up-to-date fedora then you
are talking about something very different than it seems here.
