[SATLUG] Upgrading Red Hat ES3 to Fedora C2...

[Sean Carolan]

I should add to that - here's the reason why I was using Fedora Core
RPMs on my RHEL box - I found out that the "Desktop" edition of RHEL
was significantly crippled - the up2date repository channel for the
box set I bought didn't even have basic packages like mysqld and
others, presumably because someone who uses a desktop computer would
never need a database (!?!?)

Anyway after speaking with a sales rep at RedHat I decided that it was
not worth it for us to pay a bunch of money when I would be doing all
the support and customization work myself.  So we switched to Fedora
Core 2 and have been happy campers since then.  I have found it to be
pretty rock solid, and we throw a lot of tasks at our main server
everyday.

On my laptop I run Fedora Core 3 and just mount my home directory on
the server using autofs.  Works great, the latest version of Evolution
is real slick and easy to use.  Much nicer than MS Outlook in my
humble opinion.
