Me too, but for reasons having to do with deadlines and my own comfort 
zone / familiarity, I have a LAN server at a client running FC1.

I did it as a stopgap measure and it has been running 24x7 since May 
without incident. Other than some small wierdness once with Samba and 
some occasional sleepiness of CUPS it has largely been a "zero 
administration" affair since May. (Wish I could say the same for all the 
Windows clients it is serving.) Sometime in the next 2 months I will 
reload it with probably either Debian, Ubuntu, UserLinux, or Libranet.

I'd really, really, really like to stay with a Red Hat distro but they 
don't have a RHEL offering I can afford and FC is only a "hobbyist" 
desktop distro and the last thing I want is one distro for play, one for 
real desktops, and one for servers.

My hunt for the perfect distro is beginning to look like a quest to find 
Santa Claus or a mermaid that looks like Daryl Hannah.
