I wouldnt use it in a samba file server for win$hit boxes, especially if
you have a lot of them, we ran dual test, and the 7.3 boxes kicked fedora
all over the place for speed, moved them to rh9 still going fine, fedora
was laggy slow horrid, when RH cease support for 9, and we get sick of
deps issues when we manually compile updates on kernels etc, we
are moving to slackware, RH lost us the moment they went teh fedora way,
so many things just dont stand up to the known RedHat standard, the fedora
mail server MX has been rebooted twice as well in a week, the (RH9 boxes
keep on keeping on without glitch)

Oh and fedoras kbdrate setting is BS, but i could rant for anotehr 2 hours
on what I find wrong compared to how the RH we knew was...it just doesnt
match up anymore....

Im almost dismayed enough to use slackware desktops, my personal desktop
went to fedora as well from 7.3,  the WORST thing i could have ever done.
the upgrade f#$ked up, unlike RH upgrades, countless machines from 7.3 to
9 without a glitch, to fedora destroyed everything (yes backups are worth
it <G>)
