asterisk users - Apr 2004 - Redhat 9 OVER, Fidora Support, comments please.

Hi *ers,
I recently got an Email from Redhat about the dropping of support for Redhat
9 on the 30 of April and that Fedora Project is the recommended future,
otherwise, RedHat enterprise ($$$).

Considering this, I would like some feed back on the Fedora Project from
users who may be using it, and how its going with Asterisk?  Are there any
problems?
Is the Asterisk development team got Fedora Project in mind and fully
supported?

Thanks,
James Gardiner

I'm currently running it on 3 servers with no problems whatsoever.

Fedora seems to far to be compatible enough with vanilla kernels.

I have started converting my systems to it and so far I have 3 servers 
and my desktop running FC1..

FC1 is basically what RHL10 would have been so compatibility is really 
the same as for RH9, the only issie is there appears to be an issue with 
the version of bison than comes with FC1 and Asterisk.. Installing the 
RH9 version of Bison solves the problem..

Later..

I have four systems (one in production) running Fedora Core 1 without any
obvious problems.  Same rules apply for FC1 as for RH9 -- you have to
install full versions of MPG123, Festival, libtiff, Postges, MySQL and some
of the other packages that can be optionally used with Asterisk.

We had an issues with an Intel Zero Channel hardware RAID controller 
that wouldn't allow us to install either Fedora Core 1 or 2, so we 
couldn't test with *. Given that we didn't try to convert our 9 to 
Fedora, either. We got it running great under RH 9.
