The stable release is essential for people like me - I can't afford to lose the system to buggy software. So, it's a shame that RH have moved out of the consumer market. I can understand it commercially, though. As you say, most money is with the corporate market - just like it is in the Windows world!
Basicly, that's what a workstation is. However, there was once this small company called Microsoft and these BIG company called IBM. One was producing some insignificant OS for a home computer, while the other was dominating the enterprise market. Now, one of these is but a fraction of what it once was, while the other is bigger than anyone would ever imagine. And those who made it happen, are the small consumers like you and me, the small buck consumer who has to use these enterprise computers to do work but the only thing they truly are familiar with is the system they use at home today. But the emerging user, is the enthusiast just like yesterday, the one that expands the use of his little home computer to do more than it was produced to do. They're what is going to decide what systems are used in the enterprise tomorrow, and what systems are they chosing today?
