Hi all.

Can anyone comment why shouldn't we use FC 3 for an * production system?



Depends. If you have already chosen FC3, then I would assume that you are comfortable with its limitations (services are community rather than vendor based, there is a fair bit of experimental software included, etc). These are limitations that cause many people to decide not to use FC3 for mission-critical production systems (such as a PBX). However, it depends on your desire to rely on vendor support and long release cycles for your production system. If these are not issues, then there is absolutely no reason not to use FC3.

There are some added complexities, such as udev, SE-Linux, etc. which can require additional study, but these are comparitively minor, and although they add some additional support overhead during the installation phase, they have their uses and can be used to create a better system. If you need support for the distro, you can contact any number of consultants (my business included) and it will generally be supported separately from Asterisk anyway.

I'm not looking to start a distro war, but we just found out that redhat
9 (and FC 1) don't support SATA drives, and apparently FC 3 does.



In general, you can do some research on how to get SATA drives to work with 2.4 kernels, though it may change how you go about updating your system. I have been very happy with FC3 after the initial learning curve, BTW.

We are only familiar with red hat and are in a point in time that
switching distros is not available.
The guy installing the system is already on location.


Well, if he gets it running, then you have no reason to migrate :-) Some people have had trouble with udev and SE-Linux with various services, so just suggesting that getting the system running is the hardest part.

Yes, I know we made a silly mistake. Please help us...
Thanks.
