up2date isn't dead if your using White Box Linux. White Box is based on RHEL3 and supports up2date and is free. Fedora is great in its own way but why go from stable 7.3 to unstable Fedora Project when you don't have to. I can see people jumping up and down as I type this, saying "ooh but Fedora is stable", yeah right show me the certification that it is. Red Hat 7.3 is certified as "STABLE" and enterprise ready (isn't Red Hat Enterpise based on 7.3 too for that reason).
http://whiteboxlinux.org/ I don't hate Red Hat but I don't like the aspect of new users having no option but to fork out $$$ for a stable desktop if they wan't to run a Free version of Red Hat at home. Right now I point new users to Debian (Stable) or Mandrake 10 Official or Knoppix if their not sure.
