I'll use Fedora, I do now, and have since Day 1. If the A.R.(After 
Release) mailing list traffic will be anything like it has been during 
this beta cycle, I feel comfortable knowing that I will be well informed 
about security, bug fixes, or whatever.

I basically keep my 10+ servers up2date on my own anyway...so what is 
the diff? I mean I have 3 RHN accounts, and it is convenient for 
updates, but so is Yum (with correct repos).

Now I READ the article about 'Redhat Recommending Windows' and I didn't 
actually read that into it. I understand where Micheal is coming from, 
and he is right. Windows is probably best for the Consumer Market right 
now. I run and ISP, and I think that Linux would work for the email and 
browsing that most of my customers, but go and buy the Special at Best 
Buy this weekend and explain why linux is great when their item dosen't 
have support under linux. Driver support is a problem...Mostly. In the 
same vein.. I installed Window XP on my machine as a dual boot, and i 
couldn't get USB 2.0 working out of the box, until I did the 'jumping 
around like a circus poodle with windows update' to get it working, but 
same machine worked perfect in RH9... so it goes both ways a little.

He did say that it just needs time to mature. Look how far things have 
come in since 7.3 already.
