Fedora Core (any version) is an *experimental / beta test* system.
Yes, it is likely to have 'flaws'. It is NOT recomended for production
environments. If you want a reliable distro for a production
environment you either want RHEL ($$$) or one of the (free) GPL clones
of RHEL: CentOS or WBEL or Pink Tie.

Sorry guys that said Fedora isn't stable, I don't agree with you, This
seems strange to me, I work with fedora since the first day they
released it almost without any problems. As a user at home and as a
system admin. It's really nice and doing very good job to me and to my
friends and company. Iam talking from Fedora 9 at my pc at work and I
havn't went to ant problems from the day I installed it, Also at home
Fedora 8 still installed and very nice. 1 of my servers is Fedora 5 64
bit and working fine from more than 2 years and it service a network
for a company which has 200 pc as clients for that machine. Also I
configured a Qmail server for a company on Fedora 9 from some months,
It works fine without any complains.
But I see ubuntu isn't good for servers as some of my friends really
faced many problems using it, I see it's not stable as Debian or
Fedora of course, But it's an easy distro to play with, So I advice
any new user to Linux meet me or ask to use it.
Regards,
