Yeah. I think that I remember now. They have a 'free' and a 'buy me'
edition right?

i will let the "Fedora  people' respond to that. I am sure that you will
disagree with what they have to say here.

Only that 'distributions' such as RHEL, or CentOS, or others like them
*are* server oriented. Fedora 8, for example, is obviously a desktop
type distribution. You did notice that apache is not on the DVD did you not?

I did not say that packages were different or better. but if I was going
to setup a server I would *use* a server installation. Linux, or
Microsoft, or Mac.

I would not expect Windows XP Home/pro to be a server installation for
example. I would expect RHEL to be a server. Understand?
