</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> My recent experiences with enterprise distros has been less than

</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> My main need is for mail serving, for which I use

</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> The disadvantage of changing is the need for frequent upgrades,
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> but at least 9 months is better than 6 months :-)
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> The release frequency is ~9 months, but it's supported 18 monts, so
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>   you dont have to upgrade for every release...
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> You're right - the temptation to update every time isn't as great on a
</I>&gt;<i> server, so I can live with that :-)
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> The advantages of changing are the familiarity of working with a
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>   single distro and the helpfulness of the Mageia lists and
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> channels.
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Has anyone any relevant experience?
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> I'm running several LAMP servers and some samba servers and have no
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>   problem...
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Most of Mageia infra is also running mga1 and some soon some on
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> mga2
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Thanks.  I really can't see any reason why it wouldn't cope.  I think
</I>&gt;<i> it's time for a new HDD and a clean install.
