A few comments of interest:
Why should RedHat employ 100s of people, so that we can avoid buying even
one copy per year. Simple finance, not moral ethical mumbo. So they've
stopped!
Fedora is (Redhat quote) 'bleeding edge, not for production use'.
My week of testing gave me 3 bugs compared with 0 over 5 years.
[ 1. ssh transfer hung 300M into 650M transfer 'no mac address found'
2. on boot (previously working X would not start, reboot and all OK)
3. Open evolution over a xterm running lbe build. Close evolution
and term is blank, move scroll bar and text is visible again
]
Fun, but not for production!
Brandon's comments are interesting, but without examples and justification
remain 'interesting'. I have 6 RH servers running around the world
with no bugs apparant over several years. That's stable enough for me.
So for fun i will use fedora, and for 'serious' server use SuSE or RHE.
