I am not seeing the issues myself, because I have only installed it once. However, the mailing list is cram-packed with people that are having stability issues. So many, in fact, that the developers were prompted to write a message telling everyone that FC is for testing only and should never be used in production. FC1 is extremely stable for me. I have many customers running on it and all of my workstations are FC1. What scares me is if the developers don't expect stability, then I shouldn't either. For loading packages on Fedora, I use yum. Seems to work great, and you are right, the built in package management doesn't resolve dependencies for you and all the other nice stuff apt and yum do. > Libranet (libranet.com) and Xandros (www.xandros.com) are both pretty > nice if you want Debian-based systems.

I do like xandros also, for an out-of-the-box desktop solution, Xandros is hard to beat. But, I am looking for a slimmer server OS distro. That is why I am looking at Debian. As far as Gentoo and distros like that. I think I want to stay with distros that have more support out there. For example, one of the products that I install, does not run on Gentoo yet. --------------------------------------------------- Scott Burch President and Chief Scientist Bulldog Information Services 212-343-8148 x111 .-. /v\ The software said it requires // \\ windows 2000 or better, /( )\ so I installed LINUX ^^-^^ _______________________________________________ PDXLUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pdxlug.org/mailman/listinfo/pdxlug
