What would you call someone that would do this, described > above? Bob? Fred? Or a fool? ---- I have a problem with this thinking... 1. It presupposes what you are calling a production server. 2. It attaches a negative aspersion to anyone who doesn't agree with your thinking. I can think of several scenarios off the top of my head where a Fedora server would probably be preferable to CentOS/RHEL... - Thin client server (like LTSP) where I want newer end user applications. - Special application server like Ruby on Rails that does things like image manipulation. So yes, I do think it's not only possible but sometimes useful if not necessary to use something a little more bleeding edge than stable as a server and not at all foolish. Please stop with the over-arching characterizations that only serve to further your narrow point of view.
