I've been hearing a few good things about slackware from hosting friends of mine - I'm almost pushed over the edge to go with it. Just an opinion - but maybe enough.

Yes, but Fedora is not recommended by redhat for production servers, so I'm hesitant to even try it in my environment myself - Plus, I hear there are boatloads of patches and fixes for it every other day.. sounds like more trouble than it's worth to me.. and no clear upgrade path, is there? (Im just searching for a good server-based distro that doesnt have all the excess fluff that redhat and suse has, but still works good for custom application compiles - thats why i was thinking about slackware.. anyone else?)

I never was really happy with RH Linux. I find the NFS server to be of poor quality and I needed that to work. So, I went to Solaris, both sparc and x86, and have been very happy. If you have not already, check out Solaris x86. I think Sun's x86 price is reasonable, but that may be just me:>
