It runs stable. Admistration is simple, since the defaults are strongly trimmed for security and stability. I can very quickly use the latest software versions and provide additional features for our users. And especially a release upgrade is a breeze. Previously I had a mix of Scientific Linux (formerly, a CERN RHEL clone optimised for universities and research institutes)) and Fedora servers. Over a period of more than 10 years, I have not noticed any difference in terms of failures due to software bugs. However, I do not have a hardware zoo either, but all Lenovo / IBM servers and 2 explicit test machines on which I test all updates, especially kernels, beforehand. And in early years I had sometimes to skip an update. But that has gone for at least 5 years now. -- Peter Boy https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pboy p...@fedoraproject.org Timezone: CET (UTC+1) / CEST (UTC+2) Fedora Server Edition Working Group member Fedora docs team contributor and board member Java developer and enthusiast ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue

These all ran on UNIX before linux enterprise versions were available. RedHat was often the first linux to be supported by our applications, so became the default choice, and never gave us reasons to look elsewhere. Although other distros were added to the lists supported by many commercial applications, application support was usually better for RH. -- George N.

I use Fedora everywhere. That keeps things simple and I like having the latest versions of what I'm running with little difference between the desktops and servers. For personal servers this might be fine. I'm looking to reinstall our home server (yet again grrr) and might move from Ubuntu LTS to their rolling release, and do more aggressive updates (I'm in update hell just now - appearently I can't upgrade any more and it's only been a year, meaning I can't upgrade to the next release). But for client facing servers, stability is very important. I was running servers serving an entire state, and stability far outweighed having the "latest" versions of anything. Security patches backported by RH is a huge service for such a platform.

The flipside was that the _supplied_ versions of software also remain the same. But you can always build/install modern versions for particular application needs (in a distinct area from the OS, of course). And things like Docker make running almost arbitrary Linux software on an old-but-stable release almost trivial.
