Yeah. I think that I remember now. They have a 'free' and a 'buy me' edition right? > Says whom? Fedora is a test bed for Red Hat RHEL.

Only that 'distributions' such as RHEL, or CentOS, or others like them *are* server oriented. Fedora 8, for example, is obviously a desktop type distribution. You did notice that apache is not on the DVD did you not? I did not say that packages were different or better. but if I was going to setup a server I would *use* a server installation. Linux, or Microsoft, or Mac. I would not expect Windows XP Home/pro to be a server installation for example. I would expect RHEL to be a server.
