<br>
My experience with IPA over the last year is, I wouldn't use this in a production environment without full vendor support.<br>
<br>
So I have to say RHEL6.4 64bit, yes it will cost but frankly its minor compared to lost downtime and credibility.<br>

Hi Peter and Dimitri,<br>
<br>
Thanks for your responses. I think I am going to bite the bullet and put F18 into production. One of the elements that made that easier was recognizing that RHEL 7 was going to be based on Fedora of some sort, and a stripped-down Fedora with SELinux will
be plenty secure while I wait for that convergence.<br>

<div>It seems that Fedora 18 will be the template for RedHat 7 so it's almost like getting it early.</div>
