Any chance we get Fedora instead of Ubuntu? Part of the job is to create RPMs because all production is under RedHat/CentOS and having an rpm-based environment always makes things easier.

    I'm in agreement here, RHEL, CentOS, dominate the comercial market when it comes to enterprise linux.  In my opinion Ubunto is a stable linux distribution targeting the consummer market not the enterprise.  So it makes more sense that the developer platform conform to the "packaging" methods used in the enterprise. rpm vs deb
    Fedora might be a little to agressive to use on a development platform as Fedora by definition is in development and has a very rapid release schedule (2 major releases/yr).  Don't get me wrong, I use Fedora, but I also am rebuilding my workstation twice a year.  I think CentOS would be the better distribution.
