Hi Christian,

re:

We use Fedora Core Linux (currently 32 and 64 bit versions of FC3 and
FC4) here at the Unidata Program Center.  We have been particularly
impressed by how well FC3 64-bit works on our top level IDD relay
cluster, idd.unidata.ucar.edu.  We will be bringing up a FC4 64-bit
version for test in the cluster in the near future.

Also, I use FC4 32-bit at home and really like it.

One last comment: we have no experience in Centos Linux.

Cheers,

Tom
