However, if you're a place that's gotten used to having to regularly wipe and install Windows boxes, as many will do, then it's possible that having to restart with a newer version of Fedora once or twice a year may be just as palatable. But I'd definitely put servers on a long term OS, like CentOS, even if the clients use Fedora and are considered disposable machines. Though it can be easier to manage a system where they all run the same OS, so CentOS on them might be simplest. And with a longer term OS, like CentOS instead of Fedora, you're not going to suddenly face major annoying changes to how you use your computer, like how KDE 4 and Gnome 3 irritated the masses. If you're a place that has previously paid for Windows, then paying for RHEL ought to be similarly palatable. Again, you could use it for one or two machines, the one's your mostly likely to need technical support from Red Hat for, and the other basic client machines using the free CentOS. Though, if considering a paid OS, you have to consider whether the type of service you're going to be able to get is useful to you. Mention was made of having experienced security holes with Windows, so the concept of keeping a system up-to-date ought to be already accepted. Keeping on using *any* out-of-date system is a risk, some are easily demonstratively so, others are harder to show that there is an actual risk rather than just a theoretical one, but there's still a risk. -- [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.
