Most of the people I have dealt with in the last 4 years with Server have been using it mainly as a replacement for the Everything DVD and because it was the most 'un-opinionated' release of Fedora. It wasn't actually being used in any more of a server release as much as a 'get out of my way' while still using Fedora. For the people who were using it as servers, it was split between getting ready for the next RHEL/CentOS they would be deploying, they needed packages which were not in EPEL, or things like python/nodejs/etc was new enough for what they needed to run but wasn't in EL8. > -- > Matthew Miller > <mat...@fedoraproject.org> > Fedora Project Leader > _______________________________________________ > devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org > Fedora Code of Conduct: > https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: > https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org > -- Stephen J Smoogen.
