Hi Bill, I stopped using RH 7.x and 8.x on machines that I setup not long after RH 9 came out. I intend to stick with Red Hat and am currently using a mix of: - RH 9 for my laptop and a few servers - Fedora Core 1 for a new testing box - RHEL AS v3 for a dual-Opteron compute server and will switch to a mix of RHEL and Fedora as the RH 9 end-of-life approaches. RHEL WS/AS v3 is quite reasonable under their academic pricing terms (WS: $25 or AS: $50) and has basically the same code base as RH 9. And to me, Fedora Core 1 seems to follow the pattern of of older Red Hat ".0" releases (eg. 5.0/6.0/7.0) -- its good but needs some polish. I expect it to get better over the coming months.
