My web server is running a few releases back. Would moving to Fedora 16 make any difference?

MANY YEARS AGO
Me: "We are using SCO. What are you trying to do?"
Some Guy: "Working on a MINIX type kernel."
Me: "Really? Let's keep in touch"
Turns out that guy did pretty well:)

I switched linux flavors from Red Hat to another when Red Hat started charging for upgrade services annually. I couldn't afford that.

Have you tried CentOS? It’s essentially RHEL.

I'm currently on F15. I think I'll skip 16 and reinstall when 17 comes out. I'm really want btrfs to be stable. :)

All versions of Red Hat’s “Fedora” are free to download and use. http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora--and Red Hat ends up one of the S&P500 with over a $bil annual revenue. Go figure. The thing is they keep making me money--
--and AFAIC they can pay people to use the software if they want...

LOL. I don’t know what it is, but I want one. Too funny.
