Comment Question: Current supported userpanels (Score 1) 666

I'm not entirely sure if you are aware how many ISP manageable webpanels are dependant on redhat, but this is THE major issue we're currently having. We're a small Dutch hosting company (5ish cabinets of servers) selling co-located servers and shared hosting, THE thing customers want, is a managable webinterface.., plesk, directadmin, HSphere.., these mostly rely on Redhat distro's, though some support the enterprise version of Redhat, it tends to rise a lot of problems on compatibility and rises nasty bugs, due the majority (this is THE key issue) of the community and developers NOT using it, and most likely not GOING to use it if there's a (semi) free alternative.. I have been asking around about support on Fedora.., and plain to say: they don't trust it.., it's not going to receive the commitment Redhat had.., and generally you WILL lose a huge customer base if these programmers step over to a new distro. The problem already occurred at Redhat 8, it was too buggy plain out of the box.., then came Redhat 9.., that was great.., but the lifetime span was too short with the new update planning for most programmers to step over. Maybe this isn't so much a question, rather a request for comment.., what will you do if Redhat becomes one of the background players ?, you got big because of the majority of the community using it.., but big companies CAN fall (Sun isn't doing all that well.., let's not even start about SCO), if your enterprise goal fails, would you jump back to the past success formula ? (which pretty much ended around Redhat 7.3), which I would fear be too late though..
