CentOS is what [EMAIL PROTECTED] is based on--- that should also inform of
someone else's thinking about stable distros to use..

CentOS is still RPM based, so you'd be in familiar turf as far as that
goes-- no 'apt' stuff to relearn to support a new distro..

I wouldn't recommend Fedora Core for a production system - at least not
a server.  For one thing, FC3 is now obsolescent, and FC updates in
general have a very good chance of breaking things; I know from personal
experience.  Once support stops for a Fedora Core version, security
updates via Fedora Legacy are few and far between.

I'd go with CentOS 4.2 instead, or, if you have the bucks, the
corresponding RHEL version.  Updates are provided for a much longer
period, and are far less likely to break things.
