I run Aurora and Fedora on E250 since several years and it works. It is
a typical server with mailman and some WWWs. Currently I have Fedora 12
there and I hope to upgrade to F15 easily. I only worry about the
updates. In fedora-secondary the most recent releases/12 and
development/12 package is from 2010-05-07, updates/12 - from 2010-09-12.

The mainline F12 does not have updates since December anyway so I have
to upgrade to next available version - F15.

Hi Rafal,

Thanks for the note. Ok, so how serious is it the environment that you run it in? Are these Fedora/Aurora machines you have running in production and serving clients/customers as opposed to an inhouse project? You clearly seem to be a veteran of fedora and fedora on sparc in particular. I have not touched fedora since v1 or something a long time ago but as I understand fedora is a "non production" Distro in general and always in Flux? Would that be fair to state? If so, should one dare to run it in production esp. with the Sparc port, given the issues with the updates as you mentioned?

Anyone else wants to chime in also, please feel free as clearly this is a big decision to try and use it in production running a high-traffic application, in particular a VoIP switch.
