I just read that Torvis wants to have Gnome Forked.  I use Fedora 15 for 
development, and it is a great pain in the whatever.

I switched F15 to xfce, and now I am more happy, but Gnome still intefers with 
XFCE as a user interface.

FYI in our production environment (we develop software), we use debian, Ubuntu 
lts, and of course Fedora and centos5.6  

At home, since I can't stay away, I use Fedora 15 for emails and wanted to 
restore F14 for development.  I will also need some newer features very soon 
(btfrs).  As PostGres runs on all platforms, we chose to standardize on version 
9.  My replacement for Fedora14 must be able to allow  9 to install cleanly.  

Have a great weekend, I will dl Scientific Linux tonight.

I agree with Nick,  I am a long time user of CentOS for production
boxes for SMB and education and v 6
is finally out. However they were very slow to release version 6 which
makes me wonder about the stability of the project.  So maybe  Sci
Linux has a better long term outlook due to the fermilab and cern
backing, they released v 6 very soon after Redhat did so.  It is worth
keeping both in mind.   Fedora is not a good choice for production
boxes.
