You've come close to answering my question du jour. When I get back from
vacation in July, my major Linux project will be to (*finally*) put
together a Myth box. I thought this might be a place where the RHEL
would make sense, as it's basically a server, stability is a big issue,
etc.
Most people on the Myth list say just throw Fedora on it and go from
there. Other distros are OK, they say, but most people test and run on
FC, so they recommend it. For some reason, I wanna go RHEL. I recognize
that this is a superstitious decision ("big machine need big OS").
I'm thinking of sending away (Cheap Bytes of the like) for the 4.1
re-spin of CentOS.
