Thanx a lot.
I was hoping that the RHEL updates
would have included the tried and true, and very stable
mods made in the fedora releases/updates.
To wait from FC6 until FC12/13 to produce RHEL6
is an awfully long time :(
So, I guess I will not be installing RHEL6.
You could always try Debian, it is
based on code that is two to three
years old, but it is very stable.
Rahul brought up a very good point. Fedora is targeted towards folks
who want/need the latest and greatest in technological advances and
who are willing to risk not having system access for a little while.
RHEL/RHAS are targeted towards commercial users who cannot tolerage
any outage time or minimal outage time. I work with RH systems that
are in such an environment so I can state that Fedora definitely would
not work for us. And we look forward to installing RH6, when it is
approved.
