[snip tons of stuff] It sounds to me like Slackware may be the best distribution for your situation. You may also want to try Gentoo <http://www.gentoo.org/>. If you want something like Red Hat 7.x, you could use Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1ES or AS. And if you don't want to pay that kind of money, you could use CentOS-2 <http://www.centos.org/>. RHEL 2.1ES, 2.1AS, and CentOS-2 don't hit end-of-life until sometime in 2007, and they still use Apache 1.3. (Or you could use Red Hat 7.2 or 7.3 and update it with Fedora Legacy.) In any case, it sounds like Fedora is not the right distribution for your situation. It sounds like you need something that doesn't push the envelope the way that Fedora does. -Barry K.
