[Freeipa-users] Best OS to use with FreeIPA?

[Brian Topping]

Hi Peter and Dimitri,

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.

Cheers!  Brian
