Well, "I" would, and I do recommend people. RHEL5 is well-tested, and stable. Many hardware vendors support RHEL 5. The list goes on. If I would want to live with bleeding edge, I'd use Fedora in my servers. Otherwise, linux 2.6.31 is not *that much* better than Red Hat's 2.6.18. Actually the point is: Red Hat's 2.6.18 is not actually 2.6.18. I also want to state that Red Hat is adding new features to each point release, as you know. It is not that old. We have a customer that run ~ 1 hundred million transaction/hour , and they run RHEL. We also have another one that runs about that one, and guess which OS they are running? If I weren't using RHEL, I'd use Ubuntu. Nothing else. ...and disclaimer: I don't work for Red Hat. -- Devrim GÜNDÜZ, RHCE Command Prompt - http://www.CommandPrompt.com devrim~gunduz.org, devrim~PostgreSQL.org, devrim.gunduz~linux.org.tr http://www.gunduz.org Twitter: http://twitter.com/devrimgunduz
