Then we can answer your question better. Well, I'd like to see RH 9 on that table to find out the best comparison. "Downloads" : What does "source and binaries" mean? I hope there will be an installer ;) What about updates? Will they be available from RHN? Who will maintain the packages? Recalling the openssh bug: Let's say I'm the maintainer of OpenSSH RPMS. I'm on holiday and a bug was released. Who will be responsible for that unclosed bug? So, shall we avoid using fedora on servers? I do not really care telephone "support" from Red Hat. I've been using only Red Hat since I've first met with Linux (Red Hat 6.1) and never needed a telephone/e-mail support. The reason I'm now offering Red Hat is the power I feel behind me, "Red Hat" name. Now, that power is lost. RHL is dead. Red Hat says "Fedora is a thing like Mozilla, Linux Kernel, etc.". I myself expected much more from that. Was that so simple? Anyway, let me relax and see what will happen. Maybe Fedora will be an excellent distribution; but I'm in doubt now. BTW, who are Fedora? Are they a company? (I could not find something from www.fedora.us/index-main.html). What if they will give up this project? I'll always prefer RH Enterprise Linux for very big projects, but I'm really confused about using RH on desktop and small servers.
