Just curious here.. Why are you hosting with someone who is using Fedora in the first place? Hope you're not paying for that. Fedora is a test platform for RedHat's non-free commercial distro. By it's very nature it will be broken. Quoted from: http://www.redhat.com/software/rhelorfedora/ "the Fedora Project is for developers and high-tech enthusiasts using Linux in non-critical computing environments." Sorry, I don't mean to offend.. but I see no reason to help report and fix RedHat bugs for free when they no longer offer us a free public distro that isn't bleeding edge new and broken out of the starting gate.
While I agree that one shouldn't use something like Fedora for production, I can't agree with the second part. Without rambling on off-topic, open source != free as in beer. -- This email was written on a non-broken Fedora Core 1 box. -- We only use recycled bits and bytes. -- John C.
