If you want the latest and greatest, such as 2.6, you must be willing to sacrifice stability. Fedora might be more appropriate for you. Red Hat, however, has backported a lot of 2.6 features into their 2.4 enterprise kernel. There's a good chance that what you need is already there. I'm going to guess that the only way that Red Hat can offer long-term support for this product is to keep it more or less in synch with the Enterprise releases. If they have to throw in the latest and greatest features, they'll be back to where they started - out of date products on retailers shelves that don't make any money and consumers complaining they don't get the support they need. > Not much to go on for purchasing decisions. You've essentially got 3 choices that I see: 1. Fedora, for the latest and greatest. New features and community support. Free, with free updates. 2. Red Hat Professional Workstation. Long-term stability, formal bug/security fix support, affordable for the SOHO market ($100 plus RHN after the first year). 3. Enterprise Linux. More server features, more support, more money. My home server will be running RHPW. My office systems will be running RHEL. I'll let you guys debug with Fedora. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
