I was thinking that fedora might offer Mathias a method for distributing updates for a reasonable cost and make some money for himself but if the cycles are short and built for cutting edge rather than stability/backported patches etc., then it probably isn't the best way to go. I'm not gonna espouse the virtues of Debian because many people can articulate it so much better than I can. I learned on Red Hat, I am comfortable with Red Hat but I don't sense the value of RHEL - given my one experience for support was rather weak - the dreaded Intel 440GX motherboards - and that has been a difficult problem for Linux in general anyway. I can see the point of RHEL - offices with weak sysadmins but that ain't me. Craig -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
