First of all, Fedora is not a linux distro I would recommend for a server unless you really, really need to run bleeding-edge software on your server. Fedora releases often, with very short support for old releases. I would recommend centos.org as the place to find a server-oriented distribution that is based on Fedora. If you ever need to run a commercially supported linux on your server, the step from CentOS to Red Hat Enterprise Server (RHEL) is very short. They are mostly identical, apart from the need for a support license for RHEL. Combined with your claim that you run Fedora 8 I don't see the reason for running Fedora at all. Fedora 8 is a long time obsoleted version. There is no support for it anymore. Either install CentOS 5.5 for a system with a long-term support and excellent stability or Fedora 13 for the latest and greatest bleeding-edge release with frequent updates. If you still have the same problem (I would guess not), please come back, telling wether you can still ping the server and/or log in to it remotely with ssh (remember to enable the ssh service before it hangs). -- birger -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
