I need to set up several servers, some for my home business, and some

nicely.

After recent disappointments with Fedora 8, I am looking elsewhere.

I hope you did not expect Fedora to run a stable server, since it is
explicitly designed to be a beta-quality distribution. If you did
attempt this, you really only have yourself to blame. If you want a
stable distribution, and want and rpm-based distro, try RedHat or the
free derivatives, CentOS or White Box.

I do not want much, all I need is kernel, filesystems, ssh, LAMP stack
and that's all. (where P stands for Perl)

<obSlackware> Slackware provides these things, and is a very stable
distribution. </obSlackware>
