Can I use Fedora as the solution for my server needs?

Updated -

Fedora is for the developer or highly technical enthusiast who wants the latest technology early and often and is using Linux in non-critical computing environments.

We do not recommend using Fedora as a production server in managed environments where support options, maintenance, software/hardware certifications, and longer release cycles are valued.

If you are highly technical and are willing to invest significant time and development effort in monitoring community developments, mailing lists, resolving package dependencies and identifying and implementing security updates, then Fedora may be a valid option for you. Or, for $349, Enterprise Linux ES can can save you the trouble-? allowing you to continue to focus on your business rather than the technology.

Because many of the new technologies in Fedora will eventually be incorporated in Enterprise Linux, you may want to consider installing both, so that you can try out new functionality in Fedora prior to its inclusion in a release of Enterprise Linux.
