Do you mean that I am a super-crazy linux user???
Something like that. I think use of Fedora for those purposes is unwise,
it's a development platform for people to evaluate new technologies.
Anyone who expects it to provide a stable, reliable platform will be
disappointed.
Where stability and reliability and price are important, I use CentOS
(one server and one desktop), Scientific Linux (one desktop) White Box
Enterprise Linux (one server, predates CentOS rising to the top). All
are clones of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
My laptops (I have several) run Fedora Core (I really should upgrade) or
OpenSUSE 10.2. If those break, it's not so urgent that it will be more
than a minor inconvenience.
One box I got specifically to run Fedora 8, so I can play with the
latest xen. It supports hardware virtualisation, so I have the ability
to host a Windows network (which I may well want to do). If Linux there
breaks, it means I can't do my Xen stuff.
A further key point is that, when[1] it breaks, I have the skills and
experience to make a serious effort at recovering it myself.
[1] The first and, so far, only serious breakage was the install DVD
wouldn't boot. I did need to ask about that one, google's information
was somewhat dated.
Where do you stand if your homeserver won't boot? Even on Fedora, that
is likely to arise.
