The only reservation I'd share with you is with respect to operating system security updates. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LifeCycle Fedora Core 4 has been unsupported for sometime now, so if there is any known exploits, or an exploit becomes known, there is the potential for this appliance to be compromised in some way. If you have your appliance preparation documented or scripted, it may apply cleanly or with minor changes to a Centos 5 install. > To start off with, I don't remember ever seeing in the unattended docs > anything about using specific versions of an os. > > I see from the posts a lot of you use windows platforms I could say why when > linux is more flexible but I don't. > > > > FYI I used fedora 8 originally and ran in to a few complications,so I chose > to use the platform for the actual server I have > > Working at my place of work.

I don't think getting so defensive is constructive, but I'd imagine your contribution is very much appreciated by the Unattended project. If you get time to update the appliance to Centos 5, that'd be further appreciated. If not, that's fine too.
