I propose that a good place to start here is to carefully enumerate
the reasons people elect not to use Fedora in their server
environments. Let's start by gathering the surface problems (in some
cases, the cargo-cult explanations) and look into what is the real
underlying problem and how we can fix it with the Fedora Server offering.
The following is from a sysadmin friend of mine who asks to remain anonymous
for work-related reasons:
At my work (Fortune 100 company) there's no way we could tolerate a 6
month release cycle. Likely you know this. I doubt the company would ever
consider Fedora for anything. Currently there are a few rogue Ubuntu and
CentOS boxes around and we do have some appliances that run Debian. Out of
over 2,000 Linux servers I think there was one Fedora box, i believe it
was recently decommissioned (not sure what replaced it).
If I were starting my own business I'd go CentOS or Debian, not sure
which.
So, largely this one:
* Fedora has too short of a lifecycle!
