What version should I choose?

Hi,

I have a HP Proliant server and with Fedora Core release 4 (Stentz) installed. When I visit the HP
site to check out drivers and software the offering are for either RH Enterprise 3 or 4.

Can I assume that drivers created for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 will be suitable for FC 4?

Is the any correlation between the Enterprise versions and the FC releases? I don't expect any
drivers or software i get to be "supported" but if I want to use, say the system management
software to monitor the RAID, should i try the one intended for Enterprise 4?

Thanx.
Dp.

From experience it should work. Go ahead and try.

Hi, Dp.:

I would lean toward comparing kernel versions rather than distribution
versions.

AFAIK there is no correlation between Fed 4 and RHEL4 at all. Just
look at the kernels they use.
Fed 4 uses 2.6.11 and RHEL4 uses 2.6.9. And Fedora 4 uses v4.0 gcc
and RHEL4 uses v3.22.
RHEL releases started way before Fedora.

If you get source versions of the software then give it a go.

Distros like CentOS might be worth looking at if you want a clone of
RHEL4 with continued updates
of drivers etc...
