Project Update

[Eric Shubert]

Good point JD. I always try to steer people away from Fedora for servers 
in general, especially production servers.

Fedora as a desktop is entirely different, although personally I 
appreciate more stability there as well. My desktop at the moment is 
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. A new LTS desktop version is due in a couple months, 
but I've enjoyed a reliable working environment for nearly 2 years now.
