I'm currently running RH 7.3 on a box which I use almost entirely for
serving up web pages and data files. Works like a charm, and as been
up for > 2 years.

However, for a variety of reasons, Ive been considering "upgradding" -
I was looking at RH 9.0, which seems to have been pretty favorably
reviewed, only to find that RH 9 is the last "comercial box package"
for the "low end" user, as RH moves more into money-making enterprise
stuff. Fine...

So, now I see that they've dumped the code base and some support to
the fedora project. Which leads me to ask - fedora, vs RH 9? Any
experiences out there with a comparison between the two? I'm somewhat
hesitant to invest too much in RH 9 if its basically a "dead end".
Worth switching to fedora, at this stag?

Thanks!
