There are lots of software not meant for production but other people have found ways of making them work and perform well. I do think that statement from the red hat website is just a disclaimer that fedora wasn't meant to be a miracle that would work instantly out of the box. This is also true for any Linux distro.
I wouldn't recommend Mandrake as a server either. I find that it lacks some development tools, and some networking tools proved unstable. Its really nifty for a desktop though. You don't need the fanciness, only a bare web server that you can administer remotely. Consider also compatibility. What other software do you need installed? FTP and SSH, other web servers, mail servers, database servers, etc? Consider also your hardware setup. RH, FC, WBEL, etc., and even FreeBSD. All these are out there and already being used. Work with what you have and configure it well. cha On Mon, 13 Dec 2004 23:35:14 +0800, Ninaw de Leon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Orlando Andico wrote: > > >i don't see what the hype is about "Fedora is not good enough" unless > >it's just anti-Redhat bashing. > > > > > I'm not bashing Redhat, if that's what you mean.
