Fedora is for those who want to live on the bleeding edge of software releases, not for production sites!
Debian 3.0r3 (a.k.a. Woody) is a fine choice for a production site. Debian "testing" (a.k.a. Sarge) is not recommended for production, but it has been stable for me at home, and I would consider using it in production - but I do sometimes live life more on the edge than I should. Debian "unstable" (a.k.a. Sid), is bleeding edge, and I don't use it. Installing Debian on hard disk via Knoppix (mostly Sarge with some packages from Sid - Crawford, please correct me if I lie) is reasonably stable, but not ideal for production, where you want to minimize the number of packages that are installed (the KISS principle). Fedora is probably somewhere between Sarge and Sid. -- Bhaskar On Mon, 2004-12-13 at 11:44, Nancy E.
