Fedora Support?

[digilexic]

With REd Hat Linux reaching its EOL (End of Life) and Fedora taking its place, will you be supporting Fedora? I find it frusterating that I get my first dedicated server and the OS is being phased out.

We also arn't thrilled that Redhat is discontinuing support, as we've invested a lot of work into their products. Fedora will probably come alone in time (hopefully sooner than later), but we're doing FreeBSD 5.1 at the momment, so it would be sometime after that. Also remember that just because they don't offer support anymore, doesnt mean it won't be useable. Apt-get has been brought up a fair bit and we'll be looking into the possibility of using that to keep systems updated.

There is a large discussion going on here:

The big problem that I see is that security patches for Fedora won't be available for any reasonable length of time, unless from the Fedora Legacy project, which is an entirely volunteer project with a lot of of good ideas but so far no real output.
