Hi all,

Since RH has withdrawn support for RH 9.0, I am now installing Fedora Core 2.

I want to know whether its reliable as RH site says not to use it in mission critical application. Also, the kernel version is not stable.

I am quiet sure RH would not like you to use FC in mission critical applications. Instead they would like you to buy RHEL 3, which I heard is priced at 8-10 lakhs :-)

First, in any case FC is not supported, so what difference does it make to stick to RH 9, unless you need to use Kernel 2.6.

Second, FC2 has some serious problems with duel booting systems (FC2 / WinXP). It is solvable, but takes a lot of trouble and quiet a few options to be checked before you hit the solution.
