I think they just wanted to switch to Ubuntu, probably some personal preference of some of the administrators. Maybe also some pushing from the Ubuntu "sales" guys. Using Fedora for web servers was in my opinion always a bad choice. You just don't want to upgrade your servers that often. And nowadays I wouldn't even use Fedora for a desktop which I need/expect for work and expect working after every update. It just happens too often that my mouse, keyboard, audio, wireless and now X stopped working and I have to go browsing bugzilla and fedoraforum. By now I changed my firewall and backup server to CentOS, because I couldn't be bothered with keeping those updated with Fedora any more. I used Fedora Legacy for a short while, but the community was just to small to provide the updates in time. At work we just have RHEL & CentOS. I think the target audience for Fedora are Linux developers or fan boys (that would be me) who want to be at the bleeding edge of development and don't mind debugging and reporting bugs. Most of these are probably even using rawhide instead of the release installs. Maybe this should be made a bit clearer to users who install it, as I expect it to get worse and not better. None of this is meant negative by the way. I got exactly what I wanted and don't want to change. -- Christof Damian -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
