Unhappy RH8 Dilemma. Where do i go from here?


So, today is the day when Redhat 8 is no longer officially supported. Swiftly followed by RH9 in April '04.

So as far as I see it this means no more up2date updates for us RH8 users

So I have a dilemma for my RH8 server...

Do I:

a) Install RH9 for 4 months
b) Install Fedora Core 1 [i have this strange niggly feeling about is stability]
c) Go find another Linux Distro to do my work OR
d) Leave it be, but watch the security listings for updates i need to do...

Which do you recommend? And What is Fedora Core 1's stability like? And how easy is it to upgrade to it from RH8?

Thanks,
Paul

a) you'd be stupid, and it would be a complete waste of your time
b) no idea, didn't/won't try it
c) probably the best answer
d) this is an option, but would be time consuming at times...

What would be your recommendations in for another distro? I am looking for something that will run efficiently as a web, mail, mysql, print server.
