I had asked earlier if anyone had used Ubuntu for server work.  (Matthew,
sorry I don't do IRC and I didn't respond till now.)

>From what I have read, the major difference between the two, Fedora is
SELinux (SUSE is also SELinux.)  Ubuntu claims to have closed all but the
necessary ports.  Is that enough to be secure?

Ubuntu 6 has better management tools.

FC has a 9 months life, then it becomes legacy which lasts ...?  Ubuntu 6
will have five years of guaranteed project support.

Which would you choose?

Greg
