Fedora updates much quicker to newer versions of packages, specifically in our case PHP. So our webserver is running Fedora, and or database server, MySQL, is running CentOS 5.2.

Yeah I agree, the fact that an HR person can easily type in your e-mail and get all your personal details is a bit much. But, with that said, you honestly should be using a different e-mail address on your job applications than your personal e-mail.

Is EC2 The Right Choice For Hosting Our Web Application?
