Project Update

[Steve Phariss]

  I know that Fedora and redhat are related and how, not so sure on the SuSE
genealogy. It is my understanding that OpenSuse is the "development" version
of SuSE in the same way that Fedora is the "development" version of Redhat.
My point being (as has been discussed in the last few messages) that since
this is to be a production environment, the bleeding edge version is not the
best choice.
