No worries.

Why not? RHEL3 did not use 2.6. RHEL4 is stuck with 2.6.9 + certain backports. If you need some of the latest features, you use Fedora. Given that a release comes with at least one year of updates, I do not see a problem especially if you have a system that automatically builds the staging box(es) and tests for problems, changes in expected behaviour and breakages. > > What reason could one possibly have to NOT use > Solaris, since the playing ground is now level or > even in Solaris's favor (gratis, opensource, System > V, forward-compatible, ...)? yawn. too much work to keep updated.

Solaris != OpenSolaris. Solaris 10 is not there yet. Nor does they exist a commercially supported OpenSolaris distribution with some of the things some would like to see irrespective of people in banks think. > > It's irrational to insist on using Linux, especially > Fedora in production environments. I wonder what Linux distribution certain banks in Hong Kong use. Debian!?
