I have a slightly different view.... Fedora is as good a server as CentOS or Debian or SUSE or...... Security is simply a frame of mind. In my opinion, Fedora provides a evolving security platform for such new starters, they can graduate to a high security levels from low levels of today. I am sure a choice of using Fedora for servers should be appreciated and encouraged and supported by this forum instead of showing a different path altogether. >> Here in Europe we call that Community Consulting where we enable companies to >> work with and on Fedora - and there is the Fedora EMEA e.V. as legal entity - >> non profit organisation - where you can spend donations for Fedora.

I can help online (over internet). If costs of travel and accommodation can be paid for, I can travel for a few days to the courageous users of Fedora, to provide initial thrust and support and confidence building, and a little training. >> Company helps as a Fedora Contributor, as example - provides proper >> accomodation for Fedora Contributors for Meet up's like foss.in or provides >> > They are extremely small now with very limited budget, but I will stay > in touch with them and check if they can help in any way. > > Also I will let them know about FOSS.in and also know if they are > interested to participate. > > Everything starts small, the ones which make it big are those which make the right choices, however tough and challenging those choices may tun out to be.
