Sanjay: Before someone else says it, I guess I will - If you want your post to be noticed, don't "hijack" another thread. I am guessing that you hit reply to another message, changed the subject line, and cleared the message body before sending. Due to the email headers, Evolution (and any other e-mail client that supports threads) shows this message as a reply to the "faded text in fedora-list digest". Had you simply composed a new message to the list, it would have showed up as a new thread, at the top of my message list. Hopefully I didn't over-explain it to you. Just FYI, on to your questions now. I currently use FC1 on all production servers at my day job, as well as production servers for my consulting clients. It does everything from HTTP proxy to firewalls & IDS to running a clustered web application. I have yet to see a system crash or malfunction because of instability or software error (at least, any software that came with Fedora). We're not talking a trivial number of servers, either... I manage 32 of them. :) Hopefully that helps you make a decision.
