Fedora Core releases have too short a lifetime, by definition. You
don't want to be upgrading your servers every 6 months, do you? I'd
prefer something that gives me some more time before I have to consider
it obsolete. RHEL is a good example; I think they give you 3 years, 5
for RHAS (is this right?). Debian, Mandrake, FreeBSD o OpenBSD give me
a lot more confidence than FC because of this.
