but if at all I were to setup a server, will fedora suit the server requirements? there will be only gnome installed and that too wont run by default because I am going to set the machine to init level 3. we are supposed to run a ftp server which will mostly be proftpd and also apache server with php support. mysql5 will also be installed on the server.
Try Core 6. Its amazing. I've always been a Redhatter. I've found their distros ( except Core 3 ) to be very stable and bug free. FC6 is rock solid. I can vouch for it. But beware support is short lived and limited. Fedora has a short development and release cycle of almost 6 months so your distro will likely be unsupported by about a year! :( While Debian is a totally different story...
so since the customer wants fedora I wont be ready to start a distro flame war as long as fedora can handle the needs of a secured stable server.
Check out SELinux! It is so secure that it'll make your life a living HELL. Forget about crackers! They dont even stand a chance! hehehe... -- Regards, Dinesh A. Joshi -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
