Jerone, The point is that I do like Fedora (I've been using redhat distros since redhat 5) and feel that the other distros do have a 'firewall'/minimum with requirements less than 100 Mb. What I'd like to have is the hability without having to hack it to go from a firewall to a server to desktop from the same provider, relying on the same updates.
