I've installed it on a number of machines and it operates exactly like a RH distro. Having said that, I think you'll be fine staying a version or two behind the current Fedora release and getting your updates from Fedora legacy when necessary, it just requires you to keep up with when Fedora stops supporting a particular version and editing your yum config at that time. Hope that helps. Rob
