Cool! Anyone currently using the WH version? I'm trying the new SuSE/Novell - it's very nice but I haven't put it under load on a server yet... My clients are sure to like WH though - as it is a knock off of RH Enterprise.
I'm running White Box Enterprise Linux on my desktop at work right now as an eval. I also have Fedora Core running as an eval.
Fedora Core 1 further blurs the lines between KDE & Gnome, and is a bit more assertive about pushing Gnome on you in that during install time you aren't even asked anymore whether you want Gnome or KDE to be the default GUI (it just ass-umes you want Gnome). But it does appear to be an evolutionary step past Red Hat Linux 9 in most other ways. They didn't seem to try hard to eliminate the Red Hat trademarks from Fedora Core 1. If you have a shop that automates a lot of deployment and upgrades via Kickstart & Yum, you should have little to no problem upgrading to Fedora Core 1.
WBEL 3.0-RC1 is not ready for production use. There are issues where the Red Hat supplied SRPMs don't actually build into the same binary RPM's that they distribute for RHEL 3.0. Those kinks are being worked out. I am bringing RC2 CD's with me to the office today to upgrade my box with. RC1 was pretty darned close to the mark and an amazing first try for a project that hasn't yet built up much community support, and has the financial backing only of a public library. I expect that this is the distro that many universities and small/medium businesses will be lending resources to in their efforts to migrate off of Red Hat Linux 9 before support disappears.
