IMO: use what you're most comfortable using. I personally prefer the
Red Hat way of doing things, but I've used Debian and Ubuntu, and
they're both good distros in their own right.
The one (already well-known) gotcha with CentOS or RHEL 4 involves the
rwlock_t definition in the kernel headers, which affects the zaptel drivers.
As for Fedora (or Debian unstable, for that matter), I wouldn't
recommend it for a production server unless you desperately need to use
some bleeding-edge hardware that isn't supported under more stable distros.
