Yes, but is that really a workable solution? The short life span and frequent updates are usually a *problem* for most locations that want a long-term solution. Plus, Fedora is only updated actively for 13 months. That means that 13 months after having Fedora 10 installed, every machine will have to be upgraded to either Fedora 11 or Fedora 12. Does that seem like something this department's IT staff is going to want to do? I know the answer for the office where I used to work would be an emphatic "no." I'm the last person to try and convince people *not* to use Fedora. It's a great platform for people who always want the latest and greatest Linux software wrapped up in a manageable platform. But that description often does not fit a group that's looking for a long-term, "set and forget" solution. I would not be asking "How can I fit Fedora into this office?" That seems like a recipe for disaster. What you should be asking -- and what only you can answer -- is, "What are this department's needs, and how can Fedora meet them?" Maybe you can tell us what those needs and requirements are. -- Paul W.
