I use Fedora 10 and 11 on several server systems and do not have any issues with that setup. One server has been Fedora since Core 5 I think. Upgrading takes about an hour for downloading/updating and checking config files, but I only do that once a year. Regular updates happen about once a month after hours when I can reboot the machines. Since you have several Fedora servers up and running, may I ask if there was a howto that you followed or did it all come from you? If you, then would you be willing to write-up a HOWTO for those of us out there that do not understand it all or as much as you may or may not??? Sincerely yours, Rob G.
