So what's your opinion of RH9, both for commercial and personal use. I upgraded my 7.3 personal systems to 9, after having redhat installed on at least one system since somewhere in the 4's, I think, and I have never had so many things break on an upgrade before. A lot of my problems have been to do with the font changes, and others with the move to a default Unicode environment. There has been much wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Check out the links above. It appears that Red Hat is dumping their OpenSource version of "Red Hat Linux" and renaming it Fedora and stating that it's for "Developer or highly technical enthusiast using Linux in non-critical computing environments".
That's Red Hat's official opinion. In my opinion, Red Hat's opinion is based on their need and desire to sell their commercial product.
You'll find a very different opinion on the Fedora list, especially in response to a thread I contributed to with the subject of "CNET News Article".
I'd like to get some opinions regarding Fedora and its viability in a production environment. It sounds to me that Red Hat is simply using Fedora as a test bed and developer release for its commercial-only Red Hat Linux offerings.
While I have real concerns about using Fedora in commercial applications, I believe they may just be overcome in time. In the meantime, the Fedora Legacy group has committed to maintaining RHL 7.3 into the future, and that's what I'm sticking with for now.
