Hi Mike, As others pointed out F13 has all the bits you need - it depends if this is meant to be a production system or not (in fairness Fedora is not recommended for production)
Personally I prefer the ease of administration that comes with Debian based environments but many of my clients use RedHat based derivatives. It all depends upon what you need and what you're familiar with. Good luck, Best Regards, Brett On Wed, 2010-08-04 at 09:05 +0800, Michael Fung wrote: > Thanks to all who helped give hints. > > > I switched to Debian Squeeze. > > I don't want to spend time to study RHCS of RHEL 5 if Pacemaker/Corosync > is the future.
