I don't know if you don't care about the following, or don't know about it: When it comes to servers, it's a major pain to have to update the operating system, and software, on a regular basis. And Fedora has a very short lifespan. Leaving you with having to keep on backing up and re-installing your data after doing a system upgrade, every half year or so. Or, if you can't handle backing up and restoring your data, staying with an out-of-date system, which gets more and more security issues. On the other hand, RHEL, CentOS, or various other RHEL-based systems, have much longer life spans. You'll have to update the system software far less often. And program updates, within the same system release, tend to be more compatible with the prior configuration and data. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
