Gerd,<br><br>I agree that frequently-updated distros are a huge headache to maintain, I still have much greater (day-to-day) familiarity with Debian-based linux, and Canonical's LTS security update support for servers is five (!) years, which, I believe, is unmatched in the Linux world. Additionally, 10.04 LTS was 'just' released, and is will be supported until April 2015.<br>
<br>On a related note, the move from FC6 to CentOS 5.3(/4/5) last summer on my access servers was amazing. I'm looking forward to doing the same to the library server, but I chicken out when I think if I have all my bases covered.<br>

Hi,<br>
<div class="im"><br>
</div>I would like to emphasize this point: Fedora, SuSE, Ubuntu, etc., are fun and user-friendly desktop systems, but not very fit for a server. Personally, I am very (very!) inclined to stop future support for these desktop distributions, but of course that needs to be a board decision. I did however take the liberty to set an end to the Commodore 64 support.<br>
