Researching do companies use Fedora? (I should have searched for do *big* companies...) "We have data on 23,511 companies that use Fedora. The companies using Fedora are most often found in United States and in the Information Technology and Services industry. Fedora is most often used by companies with 1-10 employees and 1M-10M dollars in revenue." That's not encouraging data.
Did the survey distinguish between Fedora core (or whatever the term is not) and RHEL? Red Hat must make money somehow.
The auto-standby power saving is just greenwashing. I can't imagine anybody who wants their PC to go to sleep after a few minutes of being untouched, then have to wake it up again (assuming that it will). It's almost as irritating as people with 5 second screensavers on their phone.
Humans wouldn't, but server farmers might. I doubt it's greenwashing. 'Twould need to be better advertised for that. Methinks 'tis just a mistake: Redhat has separate downloads for workstation and server. The reason some businesses hang onto ancient Windows machines is because of a quirk of some security regulations: Once allowed, a system is never disallowed, but getting a new system allowed can be expensive. The machines keeping you alive in the ICU might be controlled by an intruder-invested Windows XP box. Getting another system would mean that someone would have to pay for having the new system allowed. IIRC once upon a time Microsoft, in an act of mercy (or to avoid very bad pubicity), issued a long past EOL security update for Windows XP. -- Michael hennebry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "SCSI is NOT magic.
