The core systems of Fedora _are_ stable. The flaky stuff is the UI
fluff. Latest, greatest gnome-libs doesn't matter in a server
environment.

Server environment issues in Fedora are versions of apache, bind,
sendmail/qmail, glibc, gcc, perl, etc.

Upgrades to the latest, greatest bind and sendmail are a must. Headaches
happen in apache. Fedora does use Apache 2.x. That version has show
itself to be quite stable but not all of the bodules are up to
supporting v. 2.x yet. Check the Apache site for the up-to-date details.

Another potential "gotcha" is the perl 6.8, just like RH 9, is the
multi-threaded perl. I run Interchange and it is very unhappy with
multi-threaded perl. So I have a perl version compiled from the src.rpm
that has the threading turned off.


Comparing the two Linux distros available, I would still go with Fedora.
I have RH3 Enterprise and Workstation for i386 and x86_64. It is stable
but there is a "no upgrade" feel to them as the patches RedHat applied
make "rolling my own" of any upgrade app _really_ complicated.
