Hi Bill,

I stopped using RH 7.x and 8.x on machines that I setup not long after
RH 9 came out.  I intend to stick with Red Hat and am currently using a
mix of:

  - RH 9 for my laptop and a few servers
  - Fedora Core 1 for a new testing box
  - RHEL AS v3 for a dual-Opteron compute server

and will switch to a mix of RHEL and Fedora as the RH 9 end-of-life
approaches.  RHEL WS/AS v3 is quite reasonable under their academic
pricing terms (WS: $25 or AS: $50) and has basically the same code base
as RH 9.

And to me, Fedora Core 1 seems to follow the pattern of of older Red Hat
".0" releases (eg. 5.0/6.0/7.0) -- its good but needs some polish.  I
expect it to get better over the coming months.

Ed
