hello all, just one question about fedora and this is really very serious because I have got contracts from 3 other big organisations for converting their enterprise to gnu/linux. I found that fedora is having more hardware support than any distro for the latest hardware like ggc mother boards etc. now my question is that what kind of reliability can we expect with fedora and what is the level of support we get?
Fedora is the test bed for RHEL distros. Just forget about ANY support. Further if you are thinking of longterm support based on closed binary blob drivers, you are digging a deep pit for yourself. And RH or (anybody else for that matter) cant do a thing about support once the hardware vendors shut production. Irrespective of the lure of binary blob drivers avoid it like the plague. If u are thinking of earnings from support / AMC my suggestion would be stick to Debian. They are the only distro which have been consistent in their policies over the years.
