NLD9 isn't really targetted at the same people as Fedora. However, it's a good implementation and has a great installer. They've made some strange choices as far as configuration (for example .local domain names are always resolved with multicast DNS and there is no way to disable this behavior). Also, it seems somewhat slower than FC3 but i've never done any actual performance tests. All in all it's respectable. On the upside, NLD9 has official support where Fedora doesn't and is cheaper than any supported RedHat product. IMHO Novell/Suse is the only Linux provider that can compete with RedHat in the corporate space. Will be interesting to see how they fare. Sean
