Gus, I launched a thread titled "RHEL 3.0 or Fedora for a production
environment?" Take a look at the posts under the thread at
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2003-November/thread.html#00037
My conclusion is that Fedora will be a "a complete, general purpose
operating system" (ie, good for servers). With a release out every 6
months, and updates from fedora.redhat.com for only two months after
that, if you want a patched OS you will either have to upgrade every 8
months or so, or get updates after that from the Fedora Legacy Team
(www.fedora.us/wiki/FedoraLegacy).
