Fedore Core 2? Stable to run nagios on?

[Jason Byrns]

If you are worried about really serious stability, Core 1 is probably a 
safer bet than Core 2.  Once you remove all unnecessary daemons from a 
Core 1 system, it can be *very* stable.  (In my experience.)

In fact, I've had a Nagios monitor checking several hundred 
services/hosts, every minute, for 4-5 months now.  On Fedora Core 1. 
Never had even a minor problem.

I've heard it said before that Fedora Core 1 could be considered as 
Redhat 9.1.  Since they switched to kernel 2.6, and Xorg, and whatever 
else, with Core 2, that's more like a new Redhat 10.0.  And, you know, 
avoid .0 releases at first.

That being said, since Core 2 was released, there have been a number of 
updates to the kernel and other packages, and it seems much more stable 
now than originally.  (Like, hey, the menubar up2date feature WORKS 
again in Core 2!  Heheh.)
