RH rips again Was: extend EOL for Red Hat Linux 9?

[Harper, Patrick]

I agree, I like having the latest features.  It is just as stable as my
RHEL workstations, or my suse workstations, or my solaris box's for that
matter, (I have not played with mandrake or debian for a while so I
can't say anything about them.)

Suse does not have free ISO's, it is $90, RHEL is even more then that,
Solaris if free (last time I had downloaded it, haven't looked lately)
provided you have a sparc box to run it on.  $40 is pretty cheap, but I
will stick to fedora for anything non mission critical

I've had the same experience. Fedora has been very stable and of
professional quality, for the most part. Especially when you put it
side-by-side with something like Mandrake. That's my major quandry now.
If (as someone pointed out in a previous post) it's true that there
still is a reasonably priced and supported NON-ENTERPRISE OS you can buy
from Red Hat, I might go for that. But then again, I've been spoiled by
Gnome 2.4. Not sure I'd want to go back to Gnome 2.2, older versions of
Evolution, etc. That's the tease of Fedora. It's very good and it
includes the latest stable stuff.
