Bleeding edge ( at the time ) on mission critical box? That sounds like
what I'm going through right now. Lots of things get missed when looking
down the road a year or two. We were looking at adding an external disk
array to our server running fedora core; drivers not supported, os not
supported, etc...
IMHO this is a headache that would've been avoided if we had of gone
with CentOS, RHEL, or something with a considerably longer lifespan.
Hopefully this advice can help someone avoid my headaches :)
