Hello to red hat/cent OS/fedora users,
I am currently using cent OS 5.5 for my server. Should I switch over to fedora so I can get a screen reader?
A friend of mine told me that the yum repositories on fedora are more active and I can get a screen reader. I am totally blind and can't see the screen, so I use SSH to access my server. The only problem is I can't see the output as the machine boots which is something i'd like to do.
I was told the fedora ISO to download needed to be modified, and I had to get the one at here

I use my server for my MOO, teamtalk and PBX.

i use cent for ssh if you are running it at your house then it may be a good idea but if you are not then it doesn't mater you can always look at your boot logs to see what if anything is going on

dear god, .18?
I really really highly recommend debian or arch. I just run my servers (I have three of them) off both Debian or arch, depending. It works well enough, just make sure you lock down ssh and that.
