You have heard of rescue cds, I trust, and backups. Actual disk corruption is extremely rare, these days, but if that were a concern you could always put your server image on a seperate partition. The chances of actually losing something are pretty minimal. Down time could be a bit higher, especially as you tend to reboot fedora systems to install new kernels or hal, etc. Dave
