I think Fedora-4 is pretty good,

Linus Torvalds has a far more difficult job with the kernel,

What you and the other whiners on this thread have fogotten is that you lot
are part of "those who should have been looking for them". This project relies
on community support and testing, and if you don't help with the testing on
your particular setup, which is probably different from many other people's,
you're going to end up with things not working for you.
right. thats why things that work fine on all otehr versions in pre
releases of FC4 sudenly break with an official relase, and not forget the
isntaller debacle.
If your need is for the kind of distribution where you can just be a consumer,
may I suggest that you have a look over there in the corner at RHEL, where you
can pay (in money) for the privilege. Make no mistake, whatever you do, you will
no, you can use the other OS of choice in many ISPdata centers and the
like, slackware :) I opted to keep RH9 as the last RH OS, all since then
are slackware, oh sure i have FC1 and FC2 on couple desktops because FC
is beter suited to desktop then slackware, but for servers or stability,
you wont beat RH9 and slackware....but in keeping with RH related in the
free world, shame ppl have to 'downgrade' for reliability and stability.
I have lost failth in RH being a true versatile OS, its only good for GUI
weenies, ahhh reminds me of that other OS from redmond, in fact ive seen
stabler XP boxes then FC4 boxes lol.
