If your target audience is the Enterprise crowd, then you could develop on Red Hat Professional Workstation or any of the Enterprise products (WS/ES/AS). It's a safe bet that the Fedora kernel and glibc will always be ahead of the Enterprise releases. We won't see a 2.6 kernel in RHEL until RHEL 4 is released 12-18 months from now. I expect to see it in Fedora by this spring. Since Fedora is partially a proving ground for the Enterprise releases, there will a lot of components in Fedora that are more leading edge. For example, RHEL 3 comes with OpenOffice 1.0.2. Fedora will likely have OO 1.1 in the fall (I haven't checked to see if it's there yet). -- 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
