"There has been a long standing rumor regarding NASA running Fedora which all of us in the Fedora community have been always intrigued by. Is it true? What are they doing with it there? Why don't they run RHEL. Fortunately enough, a couple of weeks ago, I got to experience NASA behind the scenes, first hand, and hang out with the coolest members of the Fedora community, and find out the answer to these questions and lots more."

than you both for your answers.
I understand your point. Fedora seems to be very solid too if NASA is trusting it to manage very important information. I wonder if other goverment agencies is using it since it has a lot of support from system administrators and programmers.
Slackware is my favorite distro but I think that there are not a lot of Slackware fans at NASA.
Anyway, it is good for the Linux/BSD community that they are not relaying on Windows to do the most important jobs. :-)
