The kids at Fedora scare me to death, due to lack to testing and maturity. How does some thing that has worked for a long long time suddenly quit. Having been around for a while, I would say that the testing inside of Fedora is actually more than what went into most Red Hat Linux (4.1 - 7) that I worked on. The problem is that the market you are working in is NOT the market Fedora is built for. So what kind of testing you would do is not what Fedora is looking to do. Certified embedded hardware is a completely different beast. You are going to have test suites on top of test suites and you are going to expect software sides to stay the same because you have too much time handling all the changes in the last batch of chips you got. And while you are looking for an OS that is free in cost (because that last batch of chips cost 6cents per versus the original 5 cents you expected) you are going to want something that stays the same forever and a day. The people who are driving Fedora are on the complete opposite end of the Technology adoption curve from you so of course it looks completely scary.

Of course now our users hardly ever seem to send text... -- Jon
