I would like to hear the reasons of those who chose to use Fedora on their
server. Specifically what advantages one has found compared to other
alternatives. And also what kind of server that is. Single
user/home/family one? Serving some department or similar (say 100 people,
who may need services 24/7/365)? I know, this is just my curiosity, as I
did make my own choice, but curiosity grossly fueled by the fact that my
choice is grossly different.
Always happy to hear different [from mine] opinions which may be based on
different objectives.
