Fedora Users — Re: Fedora on servers

I have also been running a fedora core 1 box since FC1 was introduced I have had great reliability and no problems. My box serves 2 domains with web services and email; along with big brother, clamAV, spamassassin, ftp, DNS, webalizer, MRTG, and on and on. I love it, and I would trust it in a production-small business environment.

I also run a Smoothwall firewall/router infront of it which is Linux based. I love my firewall, it rocks and keeps my network tight and secure. I wouldn't do it any other way.

The Smoothwall box is a 233MHZ with 64MB Ram and has been running for about 2 years, only down for long power outages. The computer was given to me and the OS was free. What is not to like about all this stuff?? ;-)

Hi All,
 I am new to the list so I apologize if this has been asked before. I
was wondering if anyone here has been using fedora in a production
server environment, specifically web and mail services. I know it is
bleeding edge but it seems really stable in my experience.
We have been running 2 production servers on FC2 with apache and postgresql for nearly 200 days now without a problem. If there was a stability problem with FC it should have shown itself by now.
My homefirewall/router/mail filter/mail server is an elderly Dell that's been running FC1 for over a year with no problems at all.

I might upgrade it to FC 3 at Easter so as not to get too far behind the s/w development, but it is proving to be an excellent choice for the job.
