Fedora

Well it is more like redhats replacement, since there RH 9 was the last release and all support will end by April next year, only the commercial ones available after that.

Sounds like a good time for a mass exodus to Slackware and Gentoo :)

Exactly, so certainly worth putting an image up when the general release will be available.

@fredz:

Will Linode provide an image of Fedora (Redhat's new distro) when it's available in a couple of days?

yes please :D :?:

Chris, do you think you could put an image up?

I'm working on getting a Fedora distro setup. It should be ready by next week or so.

I built an image with your RH9 distro (small), stripped it down, reset the yum repository to Fedora, then ran "yum upgrade" and got Fedora just fine. There were a couple of broken dependencies (like pine), but it all worked.

I had decent success doing the same with with apt. I had to remove some mysql related perl packages before performing the dist-upgrade. It seemed to work, but I still would like to provide a fresh image.

For the impatient, feel free to use either of these methods and report back the results :)
