First, note that there are free clones based on RHEL like http://www.centos.org. However any instability in fedora has so far been only with certain hardware - that is, if you get it installed and working on a system it will be as likely to continue to work as any other distribution. The other issue is that official support/updates only continues for the current release and one previous version, so you need to re-install about once a year or switch to legacy support for security updates. Depending on what the machine is doing, it may or may not be worth the trouble to run a recent release. -- Les Mikesell les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
