Conversion to Linux

[Jeffrey Watts]

To be honest Fedora is a good test-drive of RHEL.  The logos and look and
feel are a little different, but under the hood they are pretty much the
same.  From a server perspective there's really not much of a difference, as
a lot of the more noticeable changes in the newer Fedoras are desktop
stuff.  I'd recommend trying the Fedora 10 betas, however, as they should
have the Exchange 2007 support in them.

Since you're looking to deploy on a large number of systems, I suggest you
look into Kickstart.  It's Red Hat's automated installation tool which may
make your life a lot easier.
