I would vote for starting the project with the latest RHEL at the time.

I'd think we'd branch from the FC branch that the relevant RHEL was based on. We'd branch FC3 for RHEL4, for instance. (This hasn't been discussed either.)
Actually.. I would use Centos versus FC3. THere was some compiler changes that occurred inside of RH build tools that broke things for a while within Centos and FC3 builds. The fixes were never made to FC3 (it was dead) but Centos got them later (due to active developer community). -- Stephen J Smoogen. -- CSIRT/Linux System Administrator How far that little candle throws his beams!
