It sounds to me like you are not giving your machines a hard time anyway
and they certainly don't sound as if they are broken, so my
recommendation would be to 'upgrade' your consultants instead to ones
that are better informed and seemingly less opinionated. Your problem
will probably be that they have got the ear of your management better
than you have...

Hi all,
AT the risk of starting a flamewar.....I am being advised by consultants
that I need to 'upgrade' my Fedora Core servers to RH Enterprise as it
is 'more robust', 'better supported', 'easier to upgrade' etc etc. We
are currently running them as our webserver (informational only - no
transactions), mailserver and intranet webserver (this one is a bit
slow, but just needs more RAM).
I am unaware of any major differences in the products that would require
us to change over and start paying for what we now do for free -
maintenance has been trivial, yum runs regularly via cron, downtime has
been non-existent.
Any thoughts?
