Re: Fedora as production server OS

Thanks for this email Peter

We are not in need for any external support services today, we have been using
RHL since version 6.2 ( i found an old RHL 4.2 Box yesterday so there might
be even longer :-).

My main concern is security updates and stability, and of course upgrading 1-2
times a year is possible but not desirable. I have been looking at Suse, Debian
and Slackware aswell but it seems like waste to change distro when we have RHL
competence in our company. But we do not like to get jailed into Redhat's 
commersial
train....

I guess i'm looking for some advices from people in the same situation.
