[olug] Server OS after Dec 31, 2003

[Vincent.Raffensberger at dtn.com]

The part which says "proving ground for new technology that may eventually 
make its way into Red Hat products (read: Enterprise)"?
This was true for RedHat Linux too.  Only the most stable and mature 
technologies make it into RHEL.
For example, the CUPS printing package was introduced in RHL 7.1?, but 
didn't make it to RHEL until the latest 3.0 release.

Unless you need formal/ commercial support, the differences between RHL 
and FLC are primarily in the name.

I started writing up a little article on it.  I just need to polish it and 
add references before I post it.
Hopefully it will be done tonight.

I am interested also!  The first paragraph on the Fedora site turned me 
off
immediately.  I interpreted it as being a test bed for RedHat...

Thanks,

John
