I am the system admin in a high school in iowa. I've set up a nice little LAN using two Redhat Linux 9.0 servers. I've been reading the Redhat site as well as a couple of third party sites regarding Redhat's decision to focus on enterprise support and development and to work with the Fedora Project for "bleeding edge" development. I'm wondering if you all have been talking about this, and if so, what your opinions are concerning the matter.
I currently depend on up2date for security and bug-fix updates and it doesn't sound like such services will be available. The prices for even the low-end enterprise OS's are probably too high for my school to support.
I've beem using RHL (downloaded the .iso's) and initially, used up2date - with the free registration to RHN, but the number of servers has increased, and I needed 1 e-mail for each server to get a free registration at RHN. So I looked for an alternative, and find apt-rpm (http://apt.freshrpms.net) and yum. I'm using apt-rpm at a 12 or some servers, and it's working very well. And I think Fedora Linux will have apt-rpm and yum too (I see yum packages at rawhide).
Are there other distributions people are considering? Are smaller/poorer organizations like mine expecting the fedora project to provide the same level of product/updates and support that we're used to?
I'm considering using another distro called Fedora Linux, I'm ansious to see they work and I believe that it will be great. ;)
I'm interested in any and all comments as I plan for the next 12 months or so... steve
Next week I'll install several workstation for a school, and all them will run RH9 with apt-rpm to update the packages.
