I prefer stability to "cutting edge" -- even for my desktop computers (I don't have any servers). I've tried several versions of Fedora -- liked the earlier versions, thought versions 7 through 9 were a bit too "cutting edge," but am impressed with 10 and 11. Still, due to the nature of Fedora, you've got a *lot* of upgrades and I think that would beat me down after a while. If CentOS (or Scientific Linux) didn't exist, I would probably use Fedora. -- RonB -- Using CentOS 5.3

Then we tried several versions of Fedora, years ago. Some with excellent results and some with bad results. Using CentOS now and it's a winner. If you have some very recent HW, or a Laptop, you may need to use Fedora, but if not, CentOS is the way to go, IMHO. Test your boxes with a CentOS LiveCD before you do an install onto bare metal, to be sure it will run OK on your HW. If you need the latest and greatest, this isn't the distro you want, but if you want long life, stability and security, this is the way to go.
