HI,
Thanks for the kind response
I have understand the need of the dept. What my objective is that i will be
recommending it as the client , I have planned few things from the valuable
inputs which i have gotten from all:
1 if we talk about short life span of fedora I will suggest them to upgrade
the machine at regular intervals using yum it will not only solve the
problem regarding the life span but would be as comparable to windows
update.
2.I am also keeping in mind while recommending i will be getting support
from my friends who will take care for the training session of fedora they
will take 1 month training for them so that they are easily comfortable to
use fedora.
3. Regarding server room i would recommend RHEL.

 Kindly guide me further so that I can make good strategy for marketing from
all the valuable inputs which I would be getting .

Regards
Vidur Mittal
