Fedore is meant to be bleeding edge, and its release policy doesn't match my idea of what I would like for a stable production server. But if you're familiar with Fedora, any of the RedHat-based distro's (I like CentOS: http://centos.org) would be quite familiar to you also. It doesn't make me as nervous to do a 'yum upgrade' on a production CentOS box as it would with Fedora. Generally RedHat fixes bugs (sometimes with back-ports of bug fixes instead of new versions) and vulnerabilities in their updates, and that's all. Fedora frequently includes new versions in updates that could require re-testing applications. Also, if you ever did need top-notch support you could buy it for CentOS, or a switch to RedHat would be trivial. Sometimes that can be important to the suits.
