So gentoo then?

So not gentoo, but Fedora then?

i'm a little surprised to see lack of replies to any of this thread. 
Setting up a new, multimachine AG 2.x node is my *job*. i would really 
like to have a better idea of which distribution will be supported - 
fully - without tricks and patches and adding this, that and the other 
to seven different config/dat files. Stable is the name of the game - 
the big node cannot and will not be changed willynilly.

i've heard rumblings of AG 2.3. Am i wasting my time with AG 2.2 then? i 
spent *a lot* of time beating my head against the wall with RH7.3 and 
the AGtk 2.2. The client would hang on venue room changes. Then it 
mysteriously (and by mysteriously i mean no changes made on my end) 
started working again. Then stopped and this notice came out.

i guess i'm tired of feeling in "limbo" here. Is it Fedora Core1, Fedora 
Core 2, or Gentoo? i have people that put up a good deal of money and 
purchased some very expensive equipment and it is stuck on AG1.x at this 
time because i have no idea what OS will be supported.

i really do need a solid answer on:

1) which distro?
2) AG 2.3 - wait for that or move ahead with AG2.2

Thank you.
