We've settled on Fedora Core as the OS. I'm interested in how you expect to deal with their planned obsolesence on a server platform. I understand taht FC expects to release distros about every four months or so, and only support the previous version for about 2-3 months after that (So, I believe that FC2 should be due out around March, and then security patches for FC1 will no longer be available after about May, only one month after RH stops supporting RHL 9). So, if you're planning on implementing a server on FC1, are you planning on upgrading the server in the March/April timeframe, or just watching the bug lists carefully and downloading new packages manually? Thanks! Ben
