Hoping this won't turn into a distro flame war, but yeah, nothing wrong with using Fedora, so long as you've had it patched regularly (am still having problems keeping up with the flurry of FC3 patches, BTW). IMHO, the thing with Fedora is that it's in "forever-beta" stage, and wasn't really meant for production. The recent barrage of FC3 updates is a perfect example, I think. But that doesn't make it less "good". I'm a Fedora user, myself, deploying staging *and* production servers for internal services. Someone in this list mentioned CentOS as an alternative to WBEL and RHEL. Haven't tried that, though. Anyway, FC3 has some interesting and considerable improvements over the two previous releases -- good enough for a web server, for me, at least. ;) In the end, choose whatever works for you -- it's still Linux under the hood. =D Merry Christmas, everyone. -- Ian Dexter R.
