Here I use Fedora Core 6 on my desktops which has fully matured, and I suspect when it reaches end-of-life then Fedora Core 7 will have fully matured. I use rapid software deployment, PXE/RIS, to deploy my OS and perform a staggered install of a portion of my desktops Windows/Linux every year. Since moving to Windows terminal servers for 2/3 of my Windows users though I have not had to do that much on the Windows side. -Ross ______________________________________________________________________ This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
