Thank you guys,
I have the feeling that Fedora is like a tech preview and for Fedora
developers rather than a platform for something serious.
That's precisely what Fedora is. That doesn't mean its not fairly
robust, but it is a far cry from RHEL and derivatives.
Maybe I will try Scientific Linux 6.2 (when released) and Debian testing
and see what's good for me.
I've heard good things about Scientific Linux, as opposed to CentOS,
though the CentOS devs seem to be getting it together again recently.
The CentOS community is its biggest drawback, not its dev community. As
far as SL goes, the upgrade path is all rolling-release within a major
version, so there is no practical advantage in waiting for "6.1" vs
"6.2", as moving to 6.2 involves a yum update and maybe a yum upgrade if
you have some unique things going on in your system. Regardless, SL is a
great dev platform and it has the enormous benefit that anything you
write that works well on it can be effortlessly deployed/sold to people
running RHEL.
Of course, this discussion of platform sort of glosses over the general
unsuitability of Java for ${*\ }purpose.
