Hi Dave,<BR>
<BR>
Fedora is being described as a distribution for developers and enthusiasts. I wouldn't suggest putting it on a server that needs minimum down time.<BR>
<BR>
If you like redhat, then you should stick with redhat 9 (if you don't want to spend too much) or spring for redhat enterprise 3, if you want something really stable and supported.<BR>
<BR>
A note on redhat 9, it won't be officially supported for much longer.<BR>
<BR>
All the details are at <A HREF="http://www.redhat.com">http://www.redhat.com</A><BR>
<BR>
Cheers!<BR>

Apache, tomcat, sendmail, mysql, php and bind and have minimum downtime.
We normally have about 25Gb of HTTP traffic a month, but is likely to
double over the next 12 months. I am not fussed about having paid for
support (that's my job!)
I was going to choose RH9 (after deciding against Debian), but I just
found out about Fedora. Is Core 1 suitable for this type of environment?
Or would you recommend I go with RH9 or Debian.
