Linux Distro of Choice
I am interested in what Linux distro people are using these days. Most of everyone I know that was using Redhat have all ventured out to sites like linuxiso.org in searh of a new distro. I myself have tried Suse, Mandrake, FreeBSD, WhiteBox and Fedora. I currently have 2 Fedora machines which I must say run better (on the same hardware) then they previously did on RH8 & RH9. I found the YaST update of SuSe unreliable, as well as a horriable deault config for Apache2. I think I was one of the first people to toast a LG cd-rom, so I guess I never really gave it a chance after it destroyed my hardware. My test-box ran well with FreeBSD but as I tried to install it on one of my production machines I had a ton of trouble with my SCSI adapter, so I gave up knowing I needed to get it back online soon. So far with Fedora I cannot complain in the least, it seems to be everything RedHat was/is, just under a new name, which scares me... kinda, sorta. Anyone else have any Pros-Cons??

Fedora is pretty much an extension of Red Hat. Since Red Hat is only pretty much for commercial usage nowadays, they designed Fedora more for the end user in mind.

Yes I know that, it is my basic understanding that RH chose 'Fedora' because they played a major part in a number of the updates and GUI modules dating back to 7.3 (maybe further). I have heard alot of skepticism surrounding Fedora because technically or atleast on paper they are in control of the of the Non-Commercial (personal) Core. Both of my production machines mainly only run httpd and sendmail, on one however I have been doing alot with PHP and SQL applications and Im not sure if I should be worried because there will never (or atleast as of now) be a actual pressing on Fedora Core releases.

Well, if you want those server services, definitely go with red hat or BSD. Both have their advantages. One thing I wish that red hat had done was use a ports system like BSD does. Would make installation of things SO much easier.
