What happens to RHN, security announcements, etc?  Is Fedora as stable
as the previous Red Hat releases?  Would *YOU* use Fedora on a server? 
How about a Mid to Enterprise server?  Redhat 8.0 has worked flawlessly
for us as a mid-range server OS ...  I don't want to lose that, but I
need to keep up with security ..  I do on my desktop too...  (I'm one of
those few people who *didn't* get infected with blaster, sobig, etc when
they came out..  That is, on my Windows machine..  work requires one...)

Any what are the restrictions here...  *Can* I install, legally, this
product on more than one server if I buy only one?  If I can't, then
what has RedHat done to prevent this?  Is it simply because RedHat has
compiled this for installation?  Or is it because of the support? 
*sigh*
