I would think it madness to use Fedora in a commercial activity, the upgrade cycle is to frequent and the risks of failure due to the "bleeding edge" to great. What advantage do you think Fedora would give you over whatever you currently use. If you can't convince him to use RHEL/CentOS then I think it wrong to convince him Fedora would be better. Obviously I have know knowledge of your actual business. -----Original Message----- I wouldn't do it on moral grounds: If you want to play/learn/experiment/contribute: use fedora by all means! If you make a living from it / other people depend on it: use RHEL Hans ______________________________________________________________________ Dit bericht kan informatie bevatten die niet voor u is bestemd.
