I'll never use Fedora for a server again simply due to the short support cycle. It makes the lambs cry. Totally dig it for my PC, though. thanks, json __________________ Aloof linux user #whatever.

Everything is in different places compared to Debian / Ubuntu Anyway so far I like it but I don't think it will get on to my desktop __________________ "I complement you - your facility of understatement is exceeded only by your mastery of silence, but measuring this with the word 'shame' surpasses all your previous achievements in articulation" The Fifth Continent

So far it's been working perfectly with no apparent problems. I've been very happy with it. __________________ CRUX 2.5 + IceWM Registered:#371367 New Members: click here

I think RHEL/CentOS if fine for the desktop, but you end up with older versions of most packages. I think its similar to running Debian Stable where the package versions are quite old. Its not a bad thing if you want a stable platform.
