I wish fedoralegacy hadn't gone from support forever to no support,
two years is often enough to update production machines! I really like
FC better than Ubuntu, and RHEL/WhiteBox/CentOS are just a little too
slow to offer features.
Agreed, many production servers have a long upgrade requirement. Lets
define "production server" though. In particular, it is a *server* not a
*workstation*. It chugs along every day doing what it did the day
before. Not much excitement or need for new features for the poor lonely
server. It is happiest in a stable, working, static environment.
You need to define "production" too. A software developer might have a
different view from that of a provider of online financial services. The
former might thin Fedora 8 the ideal server offering for its production
work, simply because it needs the latest features to develop and test
against. Someone targetting RHEL6 should be using F8, if not today, then
certainly tomorrow.
